Sirach 30:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Being healthy and fit
is better than any gold,
    and a strong spirit
    is better than untold riches.
¹⁶ No wealth is better than a healthy body,
    and no gladness is better than happiness in one’s heart.
¹⁷ Death is better than a bitter life,
    and eternal rest is
better than chronic illness.
