In context
2Watching care will not let a man slumber, As a sore disease breaketh sleep.
3The rich hath great labor in gathering riches together; And when he resteth, he is filled with his delicacies.
— Sirach 34:4 —
5He that loveth gold shall not be justified, And he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
6Gold hath been the ruin of many, And their destruction was present.
