38:7. 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. 38:8. For the peace of God is over all the face of the earth. 38:9. My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee. 38:10. Turn away from sin and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence. 38:11. Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician. 38:12. For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary. 38:13. For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands: 38:14. And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation. 38:15. He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician. 38:16. My son, shed tears over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered some great harm, and according to judgment cover his body, and neglect not his burial. 38:17. And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness. 38:18. And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction. 38:19. For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck. 38:20. In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart. 38:21. Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end. 38:22. Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself. 38:23. Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so: yesterday for me, and to day for thee. 38:24. When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit. 38:25. The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom. A scribe... That is, a doctor of the law, or, a learned man. 38:26. With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls? 38:27. He shall give his mind to turn up furrows, and his care is to give the kine fodder. 38:28. So every craftsman and workmaster that laboureth night and day, he who maketh graven seals, and by his continual diligence varieth the figure: he shall give his mind to the resemblance of the picture, and by his watching shall finish the work. 38:29. So doth the smith sitting by the anvil and considering the iron work. The vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace. 38:30. The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pattern of the vessel he maketh.
