Ben Sira 30:24

24 Envy and wrath shorten the life, and anxiousness bringeth age before the time.

Ben Sira 30:24 In-Context

22 gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

23 thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee; for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.

24 Envy and wrath shorten the life, and anxiousness bringeth age before the time.

25 A cheerful and good heart will take care in his meat and diet.
