Sirach 30:13-25
-
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.
-
21 Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
-
22 The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.
-
23 Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.
-
24 Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth age before the time.
-
25 A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
