Wisdom of Ben Sira 40:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ whether he wears the purple and a crown
    or is clothed in burlap,
⁵ his life is filled with anger and envy, trouble and unrest,
    fear of death, fury and strife.
Even when he goes to bed at night,
    his sleep is disturbed by confusion and worry.
⁶ He receives little if any rest,
    struggling while he dreams as he does when he is awake.
Terrified by nightmares,
    he is like someone who has fled from the battlefield.
