Sirach 30:15-17
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 Health and soundness are better than all gold,
and a robust body than countless riches.
16 There is no wealth better than health of body,
and there is no gladness above joy of heart.
17 Death is better than a miserable life,
and eternal rest[a] than chronic sickness.

- Sirach 30:17 Some authorities omit eternal rest
