Sirach 31:1-3
Revised Standard Version
Right Attitude toward Riches
31 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.[a]
3 The rich man toils as his wealth accumulates,
and when he rests he fills himself with his dainties.
