“ Honor a physician according to your need with the honors due to him, for truly the Lord has created him. For healing comes from the Most High, and he shall receive a gift from the king. The skill of the physician will lift up his head. He will be admired in the sight of great men. The Lord created medicines out of the earth. A prudent man will not despise them. Wasn’t water made sweet with wood, that its power might be known? He gave men skill that he might be glorified in his marvelous works. With them he heals and takes away pain. With these, the pharmacist makes a mixture. God’s works won’t be brought to an end. From him, peace is upon the face of the earth. My son, in your sickness don’t be negligent, but pray to the Lord, and he will heal you.”

Sirach 38:1–9 · World English Bible
