Sirach 31:2-4
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
2 Wakeful anxiety prevents slumber,
and a severe illness carries off sleep.[a]
3 The rich man toils as his wealth accumulates,
and when he rests he fills himself with his dainties.
4 The poor man toils as his livelihood diminishes,
and when he rests he becomes needy.
