Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:1-6 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

1. Worrying about money will make you lose weight and lose sleep.

2. Worrying about business will keep you from sleeping just as surely as a serious illness does.

3. Rich people work hard to make a lot of money; then they can sit back and live in luxury.

4. Poor people work hard and have nothing to show for it, and when they rest, they are still poor.

5. No one who loves money can be judged innocent; his efforts to get rich have led him into sin.

6. Many people have been ruined because of money, brought face to face with disaster.
