In context
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.
18Delicacies poured upon a mouth shut up Are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
