Proverbs 6:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of the sleep?

10 (A)Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, [a]a little folding of the hands to sleep.

11 Therefore thy poverty cometh as one that [b]traveleth by the way, and thy necessity like [c]an armed man.
