Sirach 30:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

15 Health and fitness are better than any gold
    and a robust body[a] 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[b] than chronic sickness.(A)
