Ben Sira 31:3

3 The rich hath great labor in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicacies.

Ben Sira 31:3 In-Context

1 Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.
2 Wakeful care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep.
3 The rich hath great labor in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicacies.
4 The poor laboreth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
5 He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
