Sirach 40:4

4 from the person who wears purple and a crown down to the person dressed in rough linen—

Sirach 40:4 In-Context

2 Anxious expectation—the day of death— fills their inner musings and plants fear in their hearts.
3 From the person who sits upon a glorious throne down to the person brought low in dust and ashes,
4 from the person who wears purple and a crown down to the person dressed in rough linen—
5 there exists anger, envy, confusion, unrest, fear of death, fury, and conflict. Even when they rest in bed, nighttime dreams disturb their mind.
6 They get little or no rest; they even toil in their dreams, just as they do in the day, being troubled by images in their mind, as one who escapes from war.
