Ben Sira 31:3 In-Context

1 Wakefulness over wealth wastes away one's flesh, and anxiety about it removes sleep.

2 Wakeful anxiety prevents slumber, and a severe illness carries off sleep.

3 The rich man toils as his wealth accumulates, and when he rests he fills himself with his dainties.

4 The poor man toils as his livelihood diminishes, and when he rests he becomes needy.

5 He who loves gold will not be justified, and he who pursues money will be led astray by it.
