Proverbs 24:33-34

a little folding of the hands to relax,
34 and your poverty will come like a bandit,
and your need like an armed robber.”[a]

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 24:34 tn Heb “a man of shield.” This could refer to an armed warrior (so NRSV) but in this context, in collocation with the other word for “robber” in the previous line, it must refer to an armed criminal.
