Sirach 31:1-2
Wycliffe Bible
31 Waking of honesty shall make fleshes to fail (Waiting for, or Watching over, riches shall make the flesh to pine away); and (the much) thought thereof shall take away sleep. [The waking of honesty, (or The waiting for, or The watching over, riches), shall dwindle the flesh; and the thinking of (or about) it shall do away sleep.]
2 Thought(s) of before-knowing turneth away wit; and grievous sickness maketh sober the soul. [The thinking of before-cunning turneth away wit; and heavy infirmity sober maketh the soul.]
