24:30–31 What does laziness accomplish? Look at the fields and vineyards of the idle. They are overgrown with thistles, the ground is covered with nettles, stone walls no longer stand. 24:32–34 Observe this and see what it teaches you. The lazy curl up in bed: a little more sleep, another short nap; poverty sneaks up on them, and robs them of all they have.4
