5 Was not the water sweetened by a twig,so that all might learn his power?
6 He endows people with knowledge,to glory in his mighty works,
7 Through which the doctor eases pain,
8 and the druggist prepares his medicines.Thus God’s work continues without ceasein its efficacy on the surface of the earth.
9 My son, when you are ill, do not delay,but pray to God, for it is he who heals.
10 Flee wickedness and purify your hands;cleanse your heart of every sin.
11 Offer your sweet-smelling oblation and memorial,a generous offering according to your means.
