Sirach

1 Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.

2 For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.

4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.

9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.

12 Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.

13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success.

14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.
