is wise will not abhor them.

Sir 38:5
Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue
thereof might be known?

Sir 38:6
And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his
marvellous works.

Sir 38:7
With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pains.

Sir 38:8
Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his
works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,

Sir 38:9
My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the
Lord, and he will make thee whole.

Sir 38:10
Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse
thy heart from all wickedness.

Sir 38:11
