Sirach 38:5-11 World English Bible (WEB)

5. Was not water made sweet with wood, That the virtue thereof might be known?

6. And he gave men skill, That they might be glorified in his marvelous works.

7. With them does he heal a man, And takes away his pain.

8. With these will the apothecary make a confection; And his works shall not be brought to an end; And from him is peace upon the face of the earth.

9. My son, in your sickness be not negligent; But pray to the Lord, and he shall heal you.

10. Put away wrong doing, and order your hands aright, And cleanse your heart from all manner of sin.

11. Give a sweet savor, and a memorial of fine flour; And make fat your offering, as one that is not.
