Surrounding context
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 your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
