Sirach 38:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Was not bitter water made sweet with wood?

⁶ The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the meet High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders.

⁷ By these he shall cure and shall allay their pains, and of these the apothecary shall make sweet confections, and shall make up ointments of health, and of his works there shall be no end.
