I went past the field of someone who didn’t want to work. I went past the vineyard of someone who didn’t have any sense.Thorns had grown up everywhere. The ground was covered with weeds. The stone wall had fallen down.I applied my heart to what I observed. I learned a lesson from what I saw.You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
