Ben Sira 40:5

Listen to Ben Sira 40:5
5 there is anger and envy and trouble and unrest, and fear of death, and fury and strife. And when one rests upon his bed, his sleep at night confuses his mind.

Ben Sira 40:5 In-Context

3 from the man who sits on a splendid throne to the one who is humbled in dust and ashes,
4 from the man who wears purple and a crown to the one who is clothed in burlap;
5 there is anger and envy and trouble and unrest, and fear of death, and fury and strife. And when one rests upon his bed, his sleep at night confuses his mind.
6 He gets little or no rest, and afterward in his sleep, as though he were on watch, he is troubled by the visions of his mind like one who has escaped from the battle-front;
7 at the moment of his rescue he wakes up, and wonders that his fear came to nothing.
