Sirach 30:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ No chattel is above the chattel of (the) health of (the) body; and no liking is above the joy of (the) heart. [There is not money over the money of the health of (the) body; and there is not liking over the joy of (the) heart.]

¹⁷ Better is death than bitter life, and everlasting rest is better than sickness dwelling continually. [Better is death than bitter life, and everlasting rest than (en)during sickness.]

¹⁸ Goods hid in a closed mouth be as settings forth of meats set about a sepulchre. [Goods hid in a mouth closed, as layings-to of plenteous meats, set about to a sepulchre.]
