13
Discipline your son and take pains with him, that you may not be offended by his shamelessness.
14
Better off is a poor man who is well and strong in constitution than a rich man who is severely afflicted in body.
15
Health and soundness are better than all gold, and a robust body than countless riches.
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 than chronic sickness.
