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

And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.

So shall thy poverty come as a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed man.

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

And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!

So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

So loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man.

So shall thy poverty come as a runner, And thy want as an armed man.

And destitution will overtake you like a runner, and begging will overtake you like an armed man."

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,.... Swiftly and suddenly, both in a temporal and spiritual sense; See Gill on Proverbs 6:11;
and thy want as an armed man; irresistibly. Here ends according to some the "second", according to others the "third" part of this book of Proverbs, another beginning with the following chapter.
