Ben Sira 30:14

14 Better off poor, healthy, and fit than rich and afflicted in body.

Ben Sira 30:14 In-Context

12 Bow down his neck in his youth, and beat his sides while he is young, or else he will become stubborn and disobey you, and you will have sorrow of soul from him.

13 Discipline your son and make his yoke heavy, so that you may not be offended by his shamelessness.

14 Better off poor, healthy, and fit than rich and afflicted in body.

15 Health and fitness are better than any gold, and a robust body than countless riches.

16 There is no wealth better than health of body, and no gladness above joy of heart.
