Ben Sira 30:15

15 Health and soundness are better than all gold, and a robust body than countless riches.

Ben Sira 30:15 In-Context

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.
