"The 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."
En contexte
21He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.
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.
