Proverbs 24:32 Context
30I went by the field of the slouthfull, and by the vineyard of the man voyd of vnderstanding: 31And loe, it was all growen ouer with thornes, and nettles had couered the face thereof, and the stone wall therof was broken downe: 32Then I saw, and considered it well, I looked vpon it, and receiued instruction. 33Yet a little sleepe, a little slumber, a little folding of the handes to sleepe: 34So shall thy pouertie come, as one that traueileth, and thy want, as an armed man.
