conviction

I walked by the field of a lazy person,
the vineyard of one with no common sense.
I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.
It was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down.
Then, as I looked and thought about it, I learned this lesson:

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest--
then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

Proverbs 24: 30-34 (NLT)
