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.
12 Then give the doctor his placelest he leave; you need him too,
13 For there are times when recovery is in his hands.
14 He too prays to GodThat his diagnosis may be correctand his treatment bring about a cure.
15 Whoever is a sinner before his Makerwill be defiant toward the doctor.
