Context of Proverbs 24:32
30I walked past the field of a lazy person. And I walked past the vineyard of a stupid person. 31There were weeds and thorn bushes over all the ground. The wall of stones round the field had fallen down. I looked at this and I thought about it carefully. I learned a lesson from the things that I had seen: 33You may say, ‘I will have a short sleep. I will rest quietly for a while.’ 34But while you sleep you will suddenly become poor. You will have nothing, as if someone has robbed you.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 30-34Verses 30-34 See what a blessing the husbandman's calling is, and what a wilderness this earth would be without it. See what great difference there is in the management even of worldly affairs. Sloth and self-indulgence are the bane of all good.
