Proverbs 24:30-34
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
30
I passed by the field of a lazy one,
And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense,
31
And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds;
Its surface was covered with weeds,
And its stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I looked,
and
received instruction.
33
'A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,'
34
Then your poverty will come like a drifter,
And your need like an armed man.
King James Version
Chapter 24
30
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32
Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
30
I went by the field of a slacker
and by the vineyard of one lacking sense.
31
Thistles had come up everywhere,
weeds covered the ground,
and the stone wall was ruined.
32
I saw, and took it to heart;
I looked, and received instruction:
33
a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the arms to rest,
34
and your poverty will come like a robber,
and your need, like a bandit.
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
30
I walked by the field of a lazy person,
the vineyard of one with no common sense.
31
I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.
It was covered with weeds,
and its walls were broken down.
32
Then, as I looked and thought about it,
I learned this lesson:
33
A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest —
34
then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
30
I passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,
31
and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down.
32
Then I saw and considered it;
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 want like an armed man.
New International Version
Chapter 24
30
I went past the field of a sluggard,
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31
thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32
I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34
and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
New King James Version
Chapter 24
30
I went by the field of the lazy
man
,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31
And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw
it,
I considered
it
well;
I looked on
it and
received instruction:
33
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
34
So shall your poverty come
like
a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
