In context
28 Do not become a needless witness against thy neighbour, so mightest thou open too wide thy lips:
29 Do not say—According to what he hath done to me, so, will I do to him, I will repay every one according to his work.
30 By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense;
31 And lo! there had come up all over it—thorns, there had covered the face thereof—thistles, and, the stone fence thereof, had been thrown down.
32 So I observed it, for myself, I applied my heart, I looked—I accepted correction:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest:
34 So shall come in, as a highwayman, thy poverty, and, thy want, as one armed with a shield.
