33A little sleep — a little slumber — A little folding of the hands to lie down.


In Context

30 Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.

31 And lo, it hath gone up — all of it — thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.

32 And I see — I — I do set my heart, I have seen — I have received instruction,

33 A little sleep — a little slumber — A little folding of the hands to lie down.

34 And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!
