Contextual Overview
30I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding and common sense; 31And, behold, it was all overgrown with thorns, And nettles were covering its surface, And its stone wall was broken down. 32When I saw, I considered it well; I looked and received instruction. 33"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream]," 34Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So shall thy poverty come [as] one that travelleth,.... Swiftly and suddenly, both in a temporal and spiritual sense;
:-;
and thy want as an armed man; irresistibly. Here ends according to some the "second", according to others the "third" part of this book of Proverbs, another beginning with the following chapter.
