Proverbs 24:33
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
BSB
ASV
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;
KJV
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
(3.) Where it is thus it is owing to the sinner's own slothfulness and folly. He is a sluggard, loves sleep, hates labour; and he is void of understanding, understands neither his business nor his interest; he is perfectly besotted.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Ephesians 5:14So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her…
So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.
Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.

Romans 13:11And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
