Proverbs 6:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?^(A)

¹⁰ Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep—

¹¹ So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless].^(B)
