Sirach 31:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 Wakeful anxiety prevents slumber,
and a severe illness carries off sleep.[a]
3 The rich person toils to amass a fortune,
and when he rests he fills himself with his dainties.
4 The poor person toils to make a meagre living,
and if ever he rests he becomes needy.
