In context
3The rich hath great labor in gathering riches together; And when he resteth, he is filled with his delicacies.
4The poor laboreth in his poor estate; And when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
— Sirach 34:5 —
6Gold hath been the ruin of many, And their destruction was present.
7It is a stumbling block unto them that sacrifice unto it, And every fool shall be taken therewith.
