Sirach 31:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

4 Poor people toil to make a meager living,
    and if ever they rest, they become needy.(A)

5 Those who love gold will not be justified;
    those who pursue money will be led astray[a] by it.(B)
6 Many have come to ruin because of gold,
    and their destruction has met them face to face.(C)
