At first, I couldn't think of where these verses came from. Then I realized it is from the book of Sirach, part of the Apocryphal books that are not in protestant bibles. I wish they would have accepted them into their bibles, maybe there wouldn't be so much death caused by faith healers. Thank you for posting this.
