Proverbs 24:27-34

27 Prepare your work outside. Make it ready for you in the field. Afterwards, build your house.
28 Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips.
29 Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
30 I went by the field of the sluggard, By the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;
34 So shall your poverty come as a robber, And your want as an armed man.
