Sirach 40:3 CPDV

¹  A great occupation was created for all men, and a heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day of their departure from their mother's womb, even until the day of their burial into the mother of all:

²  their thoughts, and the fears of their heart, their imagined expectations, and the day of their end,

³  from him who sits upon a glorious throne, even to him who is humbled in earth and ashes,

⁴  from him who wears hyacinth and bears a crown, even to him who is covered with rough linen: wrath, envy, tumult, restlessness, and the fear of death, continual anger and contention.

⁵  And in the time of rest upon his bed, the sleep of the night changes his knowledge.
