{30:26} Envy and anger will diminish your days, and pensiveness will bring old age before its time.
{30:27} A cheerful and good heart is like a feast. And its feasts are formed by diligence.

{30:21} He sees with his eyes and groans, like a eunuch who embraces a virgin and sighs.
{30:22} You should not give your soul to sadness, and you should not afflict yourself by your own counsel.
{30:23} The gladness of the heart is the life of a man, and it is a treasure of sanctity without defect. And the exultation of a man is length of life.
{30:24} Take pity on your own soul by pleasing God, and show self-restraint. Gather your heart into his sanctity, and drive sadness far away from yourself.
{30:25} For sadness has killed many, and there is no usefulness in it.
