and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; And thy want as an armed man.
So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
and poverty will come on you like a prowler, deprivation like a man with a shield.
And destitution will overtake you like a runner, and begging will overtake you like an armed man."
And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
The soul of the sluggard craves, and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
He who is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.
