# and poverty comes

"You may say to yourself, 'A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,' but then poverty will come". This finishes a thought that began in Proverbs 24:33.

# poverty comes marching upon you

"poverty comes upon you like a robber." Poverty is spoken of as if it were a person or animal that can attack a lazy person.

# your needs like an armed soldier

"your needs will come to you like an armed soldier"
