Ben Sira 30:15

15 A sound, healthy body and a cheerful attitude are more valuable than gold and jewels.

Ben Sira 30:15 In-Context

13 So discipline your son and give him work to do, or else he will be an embarrassment to you.

14 It is better to be poor, but strong and healthy, than to be rich, but in poor health.

15 A sound, healthy body and a cheerful attitude are more valuable than gold and jewels.

16 Nothing can make you richer or give you greater happiness than those two things.

17 It would be better to be dead, asleep forever, than to live in the misery of chronic illness.
