22 A joyful heart means lifefor a human being,and a person’s rejoicingprovides long life.
23 Distract yourself, cheer yourself up,and keep grief far away from youbecause grief has destroyed many,and there’s no benefit in it.
24 Jealousy and angershorten a person’s life,and anxiety brings old agebefore its time.
25 Those who are cheerfuland contented at mealswill attend well to their food.
