Ben Sira 30:16

16 There are no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.

Ben Sira 30:16 In-Context

14 Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.

15 Health and good state of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.

16 There are no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.

17 Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.

18 Delicacies poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
