Sirach 30:15LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 15 of 27
"Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better then all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues."
In context
13Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee.
14Better is a poor man who is sound, and strong of constitution, than a rich man who is weak and afflicted with evils.
15Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better then all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues.
16There is no riches above the riches of the health of the body: and there is no pleasure above the joy of the heart.
17Better is death than a bitter life: and everlasting rest, than continual sickness.
