Sirach 30:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 Health and fitness are better than any gold,
and a robust body than countless riches.
16 There is no wealth better than health of body,
and no gladness above joy of heart.
17 Death is better than a life of misery,
and eternal sleep[a] than chronic sickness.
Footnotes
- Sirach 30:17 Other ancient authorities lack eternal sleep
