14 Better is a healthy pauper with a strong constitution, than a wealthy man who is weak and afflicted by maladies.
15 A healthy soul with the sanctity of justice is better than all the gold and silver. And a sound body is better than immense revenues.
16 There is no revenue above the revenue of a healthy body. And there is no delight above a joyful heart.
17 Death is better than a bitter life. And eternal rest is better than continual sickness.
18 Good things hidden in a closed mouth are like seats at a feast placed around a grave.
19 What benefit is there in an offering to an idol? For it can neither eat, nor smell.
20 So is he who flees from the Lord, carrying the wages of his iniquity.
