Ecclesiasticus 30:17 Context
15Health and good state of body are aboue all gold, and a strong body aboue infinite wealth. 16There is no riches aboue a sound body, and no ioy aboue the ioy of the heart. 17Death is better then a bitter life, or continuall sickenesse. 18Delicates powred vpon a mouth shut vp, are as messes of meat set vpon a graue. 19What good doth the offering vnto an idole? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.
