Sirach 30:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Better is a poor man who is sound, and strong of constitution, than a rich man who is weak and afflicted with evils.

¹⁵ Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better then all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues.

¹⁶ There is no riches above the riches of the health of the body: and there is no pleasure above the joy of the heart.
