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.

I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber

Whatever your hands find to do, do with [all] your strength, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.

And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.

Therefore be alert, since you don't know when the master of the house is coming-- whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning.

Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping.
