(Occurrence 0) but the wealth of a rich person does not allow him to sleep well
(Some words not found in UHB: there_is evil grievous seen below/instead_of the,sun wealth hoarded by,owner_of,its to,harm_of,his )
“but the wealth of a rich person keeps him awake at night.” This speaks of a rich person not being able to sleep because he is worried about his money as if his money were a person that would not allow him to sleep. Alternate translation: “but rich people do not sleep well because they worry about their money”
5:12 People who work hard sleep well: Hard work and moderation yield the formula for a peaceful, productive life. Pursuing wealth leads to unnecessary anxieties (5:3).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
