Ecc 5:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : More riches bring more worries, making it harder to rest. The sleep of a laboring man is sweet . People who work hard and have little sleep better because they are tired and have fewer worries. But the rich often lose sleep because of their many cares and troubles. Jesus spoke of a rich man who worried about his crops (Luke 12:17 ). Sometimes guilt or greed keeps them awake. But those loved by God can sleep in peace.
