And in the midst of the congregation will she open

his mouth.

He shall find joy and gladness,

And she will make him inherit an everlasting name.

Men of vanity shall not attain unto her,

And men of arrogance shall not see her.

Far from scorners is she,

And liars remember her not.

Honor a physician according to thy need of him—

Him also hath God apportioned.

From God a physician getteth wisdom,

And from a king he receiveth gifts.

The skill of a physician lifteth up his head,

And he may stand before nobles.

God bringeth out medicines from the earth,

And let a prudent man not despise them.

Was not water made sweet by wood,

To make every man know His power?

And He gave men understanding,

That they might glory in His mighty works.

By means of them doth a physician assuage pain,

And likewise the apothecary maketh a confection:

That His work may not cease,

Nor health from the sons of men.

My son, in sickness be not negligent;

Pray unto God, for He healeth.
