In 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.
— Sirach 34:3 —
4The poor laboreth in his poor estate; And when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
5He that loveth gold shall not be justified, And he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
