Sirach 30:16-18
Common English Bible
16 No wealth is better than a healthy body,
and no gladness is better than happiness in one’s heart.
17 Death is better than a bitter life,
and eternal rest is
better than chronic illness.
Concerning foods.[a]
18 Good things that are poured out
on a closed mouth
are the same as food offerings
placed on a grave.
