Chapter 24
31And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds; Its surface was covered with weeds, And its stone wall was broken down. 32When 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,' 34Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.King James Version

31Thistles had come up everywhere, weeds covered the ground, and the stone wall was ruined. 32I saw, and took it to heart; I looked, and received instruction: 33a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, 34and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need, like a bandit.New Living Translation

31I saw that it was overgrown with nettles. It was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down. 32Then, as I looked and thought about it, I learned this lesson: 33A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest — 34then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.English Standard Version
