CHAP. XXXVIII.
1 Honour due to the Phisitian, and why. 16 How to weepe and mourne for the dead. 24 The wisedome of the learned man, and of the Labourer and Artificer: with the vse of them both.
2 For of the most High commeth healing, and he shall receiue honour of the King.2
4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhorre them.
5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the vertue thereof might be knowen?5
6 And he hath giuen men skill, that hee might be honoured in his marueilous workes.
7 With such doeth he heale [men,] and taketh away their paines.
9 My sonne, in thy sickenesse be not negligent: but pray vnto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.9
10 Leaue off from sinne, and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickednesse.
11 Giue a sweet sauour, and a memoriall of fine flowre: and make a fat offering, as not being.11
13 There is a time when in their hands there is good successe.
14 For they shall also pray vnto the Lord, that hee would prosper that, which they giue, for ease and remedy to prolong life.14
15 He that sinneth before his maker, let him fal into the hand of the Phisitian.
18 For of heauinesse commeth death, and the heauinesse of the heart, breaketh strength.18
19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poore, is the curse of the heart.
20 Take no heauines to heart: driue it away, and remember the last end.
21 Forget it not, for there is no turning againe: thou shalt not doe him good, but hurt thy selfe.
22 Remember my iudgement: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee.22
23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, & be comforted for him, when his spirit is departed from him.23
25 How can he get wisdome that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad; that driueth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talke is of bullocks?25
26 He giueth his minde to make furrowes: and is diligent to giue the kine fodder.
30 He fashioneth the clay with his arme, and boweth downe his strength before his feet: he applieth himselfe to lead it ouer; and he is diligent to make cleane the furnace.30
31 All these trust to their hands: and euery one is wise in his worke.
