Ecclesiasticus 38:9-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee.

10. Turn away from sin and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence.

11. Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician.

12. For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary.

13. For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands:

14. And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation.

15. He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician.
