Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 40:5

θυμὸς καὶ ζῆλος καὶ ταραχὴ καὶ σάλος καὶ φόβος θανάτου καὶ μηνίαμα καὶ ἔρις· καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἀναπαύσεως ἐπὶ κοίτης ὕπνος νυκτὸς ἀλλοιοῖ γνῶσιν αὐτοῦ.
King James Version (KJV)

Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his knowledge.

Modern English

Wrath, envy, trouble, and unrest, fear of death, anger, and conflict — even at the hour of rest on his bed, his night's sleep confuses his mind.
