Proverbs 24:32
30 I went past the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking judgment.
31 Thorns had grown up everywhere, thistles had covered the ground, and the stone wall was broken down.
I observed and took it to heart; I looked and received instruction:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
