4. God makes the earth yield healing herbswhich the prudent should not neglect;
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.
