13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
13 Don't be too fond of sleep; you'll end up in the poorhouse. Wake up and get up; then there'll be food on the table.
13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.
13 If you love sleep, you will end in poverty. Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat!
