Sirach 30:21

¹⁹What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.

²⁰He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.

— Sirach 30:21 —

²²The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

²³Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.
