Sirach 30:23-25

Wycliffe Bible

²³ Have thou mercy on thy soul, and please thou God; and hold together and gather together thine heart in the holiness of him, and put far away sorrow from thee. For why sorrow hath slain many men; and none health is therein [or and there is not profit in it].

²⁴ Envy and wrathfulness shall make (for) less days; and thoughts shall bring eldness before the time. [Envy and wrath shall lessen days; and before time thinking shall bring to eld (age).]

²⁵ A shining heart is good in meats (or for meals, or for digestion); for why meats thereof be made diligently. [A bright heart good in meatships; the meatships forsooth of him diligently be made.]
