Ecclesiastes 5:12DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 20
"The sleep of a labouring man sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep."
In context
10He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this also vanity.
11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good to the owners thereof, saving the beholding with their eyes?
12The sleep of a labouring man sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13There is a sore evil I have seen under the sun, , riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and nothing in his hand.
