37:27 My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it. 37:28 For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing. 37:29 Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats: 37:30 For excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler. 37:31 By surfeiting have many perished; but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life. 38:1 Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him. 38:2 For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king. 38:3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration. 38:4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them. 38:5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known? 38:6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works. 38:7 With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pains. 38:8 Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth, 38:9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole. 38:10 Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. 38:11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being. 38:12 Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him. 38:13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success. 38:14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life. 38:15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician. 38:16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial. 38:17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness. 38:18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength. 38:19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart. 38:20 Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end. 38:21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself. 38:22 Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee. 38:23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed from him.
