Sirach 30:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ Health and fitness are better than any gold,
    and a robust body than countless riches.
¹⁶ There is no wealth better than health of body,
    and no gladness above joy of heart.
¹⁷ Death is better than a life of misery,
    and eternal sleep^[a] than chronic sickness.
