Ecclesiastes 5:12

NETBible

The sleep of the laborer is pleasant – whether he eats little or much – but the wealth of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

NIV ©

Hard and honest work earns a good night's sleep, Whether supper is beans or steak. But a rich man's belly gives him insomnia.

BBE ©

The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.

NRSV ©

Sweet is the sleep of laborers, whether they eat little or much; but the surfeit of the rich will not let them sleep.
