1 Wakefulness over wealth wastes away the flesh,and anxiety over it drives away sleep.
2 Wakeful anxiety banishes slumber;more than a serious illness it disturbs repose.
3 The rich labor to pile up wealth,and if they rest, it is to enjoy pleasure;
4 The poor labor for a meager living,and if they ever rest, they become needy.
5 The lover of gold will not be free from sin;whoever pursues money will be led astray by it.
