“Yeta little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep: ”
“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:”
“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,”
“Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:”

How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep?
You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep,
and then destitution will meet with you, like a traveler, and poverty, like an armed man. Yet truly, if you would be diligent, then your harvest will arrive like a fountain, and destitution will flee far from you.
An apostate man, a harmful man, walks with a perverse mouth;
he winks with the eyes, touches with the foot, speaks with the finger.
