Ecclesiastes 5:13

"The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep."

Key Reflection

This verse contrasts the restful sleep of the poor with the restless nights of the wealthy. The laborer finds satisfaction in simple sustenance, whereas wealth brings neither peace nor contentment, highlighting how material abundance can fail to provide true fulfillment or tranquility.
