I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man lacking a heart of wisdom,
31 And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles;
Nettles have covered its surface,
And its stone wall has been torn down.
32 And I beheld, I set my heart upon it;
I saw, I received discipline.
33 “A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
34 Then your poverty will come as a robber
And your want like an armed man.

The sluggard says, “There is a fierce lion in the road!
A lion is among the streets!”

So does the sluggard on his bed.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He is too weary to return it to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can respond with a discreet answer.
