Wisdom of Ben Sira 31:2-4
New Catholic Bible

2 Apprehension prevents slumber
    just as a serious illness banishes sleep.
3 The rich man toils to amass a fortune,
    and when he relaxes he enjoys every kind of luxury.
4 The poor man toils to eke out a meager living,
    and if he ever rests he finds himself in want.
