Sirach 30:24DRA

22Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.

23The joyfulness of the heart, is the life of a man, and a never failing treasure of holiness: and the joy of a man is length of life.

24Have pity on thy own soul, pleasing God, and contain thyself: gather up thy heart in his holiness: and drive away sadness far from thee.

25For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it.

26Envy and anger shorten a man’s days, and pensiveness will bring old age before the time.
