received instruction.................

 

30.   I passed by the field of the sluggard,

       And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense;

31.   And behold, it was completely overgrown with 

       thistles.

       Its surface was covered with nettles,

       And its stone wall was broken down.

32.   When I saw, I reflected upon it;

       I looked, and received instruction.

33.   "A little sleep, a little slumber,

       A little folding of the hands to rest,"

34.    Then your poverty will come as a robber,

        And your want like an armed man.

-The Holy Bible, The Open Bible version, Proverbs 24: 30-34
