Ben Sira 38:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 and the druggist prepares his medicines.
Thus God’s work continues without cease
in its efficacy on the surface of the earth.
9 My son, when you are ill, do not delay,
but pray to God, for it is he who heals.(A)
10 Flee wickedness and purify your hands;
cleanse your heart of every sin.
