Sirach 30:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Don’t let grief take you over,
    and don’t distress yourself on purpose.
²² A joyful heart means life
for a human being,
    and a person’s rejoicing
    provides long life.
²³ Distract yourself, cheer yourself up,
    and keep grief far away from you
        because grief has destroyed many,
        and there’s no benefit in it.
