Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.

and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

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

and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need, like a bandit.

Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.

So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.

So shall thy poverty come[ as] one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.”

so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.

懶散的手，使人貧窮；殷勤的手，使人富有。

懶惰人貪得無厭，但他的慾望一無所得；殷勤人的欲求，卻必得滿足。
