14 Better the poor in vigorous healththan the rich with bodily ills.
15 I would rather have bodily health than any gold,and contentment of spirit than pearls.
16 No riches are greater than a healthy body;and no happiness than a joyful heart.
17 Better is death than a wretched life,everlasting sleep than constant illness.
18 Good things set before one who cannot eatare like food offerings placed before a tomb.
19 What good is an offering to an idolthat can neither eat nor smell?So it is with the one being punished by the Lord,
20 who groans at what his eyes behold.
