Proverbs 24:30-34
- I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
- Then I saw and considered well; I saw and received instruction.
- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;
- So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
Psalm 120:1-2,4
Book 5 (Psalms 107–150)
(World English Bible)
A Song of Ascents
- In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
- Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
- Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
