So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Verse 34 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. These words of the wise condemn partial judgments and judicial corruption. Declaring the guilty innocent or the righteous guilty has serious social consequences. The text also values open rebuke and sincere friendship. Finally, the scene of the lazy man’s field shows how neglect produces ruin gradually: poverty arrives like a thief when lack of diligence continues without correction.

aber es wird dir deine Armut kommen wie ein Wanderer und dein Mangel wie ein gewappneter Mann.
Así vendrá como caminante tu necesidad, Y tu pobreza como hombre de escudo.
y tu pobreza llegará como un caminante y tu escasez como un hombre armado.
Et la pauvreté te surprendra, comme un rôdeur, Et la disette, comme un homme en armes.
La tua povertà verrà come un viandante, E la tua inopia come uno scudiere
Assim te sobrevirá a tua pobreza como um vagabundo, e a tua necessidade como um homem armado.
你的貧窮就如盜賊來到, 你的貧乏彷彿拿盾牌的人來臨。
