Sirach 38:2-4
Wycliffe Bible

3 The cunning of a leech shall enhance his head (The knowledge of a physician shall exalt, or shall lift up, his head); and he shall be praised in the sight of great men. [The discipline of the leech shall enhance the head of him; and in the sight of great men he shall be praised.]
4 The Highest hath made (out) of the earth medicine; and a prudent man shall not loathe it. [The Highest formed of the earth medicine; and the prudent man shall not greatly fear it.]
