Sirach 31:2 CPDV

¹  Watching for wealth consumes the flesh, and thinking about it takes away sleep.

²  Anticipation in thought distracts the mind, and a grievous infirmity makes the soul sober.

³  The rich man has labored in gathering wealth, and in his rest, he will be filled with his goods.

⁴  The poor man has labored in his lowly way, and in the end, he may still be in need.
