Sirach 31:5 CPDV

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.

⁵  Whoever loves gold will not be justified. And whoever pursues consumption will be consumed by it.

⁶  Many have been caused to fall because of gold, and it became their ruin by its beauty.

⁷  Gold is a stumbling block to those who sacrifice for it. Woe to those who pursue it eagerly, for all the imprudent will perish by it.
