Sirach 30:16

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

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

— Sirach 30:16 —

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

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