10You might sleep a little or take a little nap.

You might even fold your hands and rest.

11Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you.

You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.

A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to rest,

and poverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.

a little folding of the hands to rest—

and scarcity like an armed man.

A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the arms to rest,

and your poverty will come like a robber,

your need, like a bandit.

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.

and what you lack like an armed man.

A little folding of the hands to sleep:

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,

And thy want as an armed man.
