4 The lazy person has his cravings, yet he* has nothing,+

But the diligent one* will be fully satisfied.*+

 4 The lazy one does not plow in winter,

So he will be begging during the harvest when he has nothing.*+

30 I passed by the field of the lazy one,+

By the vineyard of the man lacking good sense.*

31 I saw that it was overgrown with weeds;

The ground was covered with nettles,

And its stone wall was broken down.+

32 I observed this and took it to heart;

I saw it and learned this lesson:*

33 A little sleep, a little slumbering,

A little folding of the hands to rest,

34 And your poverty will come like a bandit,

And your want like an armed man.+
