and poverty comes

This finishes a thought begun with the words "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest" (Proverbs 24:33). You may need to fill in the omitted words. "You may say to yourself, 'A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,' but then poverty will come" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)

poverty comes marching upon you

Some translations read, "poverty comes upon you like a robber." Poverty is spoken of as if it were a person or animal that can attack a lazy person. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)

your needs like an armed soldier
