Sirach 30:16-18
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
16 There is no wealth better than health of body,
and there is no gladness above joy of heart.
17 Death is better than a miserable life,
and eternal rest[a] than chronic sickness.
18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed
are like offerings of food placed upon a grave.
