Contextual Overview

30 I passed by a lazy person's field and by the vineyard of someone with no sense. 31 Thorns had grown up everywhere. The ground was covered with weeds, and the stone walls had fallen down. 32 I thought about what I had seen; I learned this lesson from what I saw. 33 You sleep a little; you take a nap. You fold your hands and lie down to rest. 34 Soon you will be as poor as if you had been robbed; you will have as little as if you had been held up.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber,.... The sight of the field and vineyard of the slothful put Solomon in mind of an observation he had made before, which fitly describes the disposition and gesture of the sluggard, by which means his field and vineyard came to ruin; while he should be up and tilling his field and planting his vineyard, he is in his bed; and awaking, instead of rising, craves for and indulges himself in another little doze, and which he repeats again and again;

a little folding of the hands to sleep; which ought to have been employed another way; :-.
