Sirach 30:11-20
-
11 Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies.
-
12 Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart.
-
13 Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee.
-
14 Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.
-
15 Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.
-
16 There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.
-
17 Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.
-
18 Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
-
19 What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.
-
20 He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
