Sirach 30:20-22
Common English Bible

20     looking with the eyes and groaning
    like a eunuch who embraces
    a young woman and groans.[a]

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.
