Sirach 30:14-17

Food and health

14 It is better to be poor, but healthy and strong, than a rich person whose body is afflicted.

15 Being healthy and fit is better than any gold, and a strong spirit is better than untold riches.

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.
