In context
20He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, As a eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
21Give not over thy mind to heaviness, And afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
— Sirach 30:22 —
23Love thine own soul, And comfort thy heart, Remove sorrow far from thee: For sorrow hath killed many, And there is no profit therein.
24Envy and wrath shorten the life, And carefulness bringeth age before the time.
