¹ "Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],"

² Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.

³ These are also the proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:

⁴ It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

⁵ As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the hearts and minds of kings are[1] unsearchable.

⁶ Take away the dross from the silver, And there comes out [the pure metal for] a vessel for the silversmith [to shape].
