4

The most High hath created medicines out of the earth, and a wise man will not abhor them.

5

Was not bitter water made sweet with wood?

6

The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the meet High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders.

7

By these he shall cure and shall allay their pains, and of these the apothecary shall make sweet confections, and shall make up ointments of health, and of his works there shall be no end.

8

For the peace of God is over all the face of the earth.

My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee.

Turn away from sin and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence.

Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician.

For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary.

For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands:

14

And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation.

15

He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician.

    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.
