Wisdom of Ben Sira 40:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Whether he sits in splendor on a throne
    or grovels in dust and ashes,
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.
