Sirach 31:1
King James VersionSource notes
“Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.”
Context
1Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.
2Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep,
3The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates.
4The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
