Ben Sira 31:1

1 Worrying about money will make you lose weight and lose sleep.

Ben Sira 31:1 In-Context

1 Worrying about money will make you lose weight and lose sleep.

2 Worrying about business will keep you from sleeping just as surely as a serious illness does.

3 Rich people work hard to make a lot of money; then they can sit back and live in luxury.

4 Poor people work hard and have nothing to show for it, and when they rest, they are still poor.

5 No one who loves money can be judged innocent; his efforts to get rich have led him into sin.
