Sirach 31:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 The poor man toils as his livelihood diminishes,
and when he rests he becomes needy.
5 He who loves gold will not be justified,
and he who pursues money will be led astray[a] by it.
6 Many have come to ruin because of gold,
and their destruction has met them face to face.
