Sirach 13:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
24 Riches are good if they are free from sin;
poverty is evil only in the opinion of the ungodly.
25 The heart changes the countenance,
either for good or for evil.[a]
26 The sign of a happy heart is a cheerful face,
but to devise proverbs requires painful thinking.
