In context
4From him that weareth purple and a crown, Unto him that is clothed with a linen frock.
5Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife, And in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his knowledge.
— Sirach 40:6 —
7When all is safe, he awaketh, And marveleth that the fear was nothing.
8Such things happen unto all flesh, both man and beast, And sevenfold more upon sinners.
