Ben Sira 40:20

20 Wine and music rejoice the heart, but the love of wisdom is above them both.

Ben Sira 40:20 In-Context

18 To labor and to be content with what a man hath is a sweet life, but he that findeth a treasure is above them both.
19 Children and the building of a city continue a man's name, but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
20 Wine and music rejoice the heart, but the love of wisdom is above them both.
21 The pipe and the psaltery make sweet melody, but a pleasant tongue is above them both.
22 Thine eye desireth favor and beauty, but more than both corn while it is green.
