Health And Cheerfulness (By Ben Sira)

Better the poor in vigorous health than the rich with bodily ills.
I would rather have bodily health than any gold, and contentment of spirit than pearls.
No riches are greater than a healthy body; and no happiness than a joyful heart.
Better is death than a wretched life, everlasting sleep than constant illness.
Good things set before one who cannot eat are like food offerings placed before a tomb.
What good is an offering to an idol that can neither eat nor smell?
So it is with the one being punished by the Lord, who groans at what his eyes behold.
Do not give in to sadness, or torment yourself deliberately.
Gladness of heart is the very life of a person, and cheerfulness prolongs his days.
Distract yourself and renew your courage, drive resentment far away from you; For grief has killed many, and nothing is to be gained from resentment.
Envy and anger shorten one’s days, and anxiety brings on premature old age.
Those who are cheerful and merry at table benefit from their food.
Amen.
