Sirach 30:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee.

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.
