Sirach 31:1-3 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Watching for wealth consumes the flesh, and thinking about it takes away sleep.

2. Anticipation in thought distracts the mind, and a grievous infirmity makes the soul sober.

3. The rich man has labored in gathering wealth, and in his rest, he will be filled with his goods.
