In context
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.
— Sirach 30:17 —
18Delicacies poured upon a mouth shut up Are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
19What good doeth the offering unto an idol? For neither can it eat nor smell: So is he that is persecuted of the Lord.
