Ministry on This Verse

 Verses 33 and 34 are the musings of his heart as he meditated upon the unhappy scene. Sleeping when he should have been laboring, the hour draws nigh when, aroused by poverty coming like a man on a journey, and want like a soldier in full armor, the sluggard will be awakened too late to realize that his wasted opportunities have gone beyond recall. (Proverbs Twenty-Four by H.A. Ironside)

J. N. Darby Translation

—A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest!
