Sleepy Bandit 

32 

Then, as I looked and thought about it,
     I learned this lesson:

33 

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

34 

then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
     scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

In Proverbs 6:9-10, the lazy person was told to learn from the hardworking ant. Here, in Verses 32-34, we’re reminded that if we waste our lives being lazy when we should be working, our possessions will disappear, just like if a thief stole them. Laziness is clearly discouraged.

Think about this: TV ads constantly tell us to pamper ourselves. They suggest we buy expensive chocolates, costly cell phones, or luxury shampoos because "we’re worth it." They encourage us to buy big SUVs for comfort or take unnecessary bubble baths. But these luxuries can drain our money—money we could instead use to help widows, orphans, and the poor.
