30 LIBER IESU FILII SIRACH Syrach - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Ecclesiasticus - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
14Melior est pauper sanus, et fortis viribus, quam dives imbecillis et flagellatus malitia. Health. Sir.30.14-20
15Salus animæ in sanctitate justitiæ melior est omni auro et argento: et corpus validum quam census immensus.  
16Non est census super censum salutis corporis, et non est oblectamentum super cordis gaudium.  
17Melior est mors quam vita amara, et requies æterna quam languor perseverans.  
18Bona abscondita in ore clauso, quasi appositiones epularum circumpositæ sepulchro.  
19Quid proderit libatio idolo? nec enim manducabit, nec odorabit.  
20Sic qui effugatur a Domino, portans mercedes iniquitatis:  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
