In context
12Beat his sides while he is still young, Lest becoming stubborn, he disobey thee.
13Train up thy son, and exercise him with work, Lest by thy looseness thou stumble. a And overlook not his ignorance. b Bow down his neck in his youth.
— Sirach 30:14 —
15Health and good estate of body are above all gold, And a strong body above infinite wealth.
16There is no riches above a sound body, And no joy above the joy of the heart.
