Sirach 30:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹⁷ Better is death than a bitter life: and everlasting rest, than continual sickness.
