Sirach 38:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Concerning Physicians and Health

38 Honor the physician with the honor due him,^[a] according to your need of him,
    for the Lord created him;
²for healing comes from the Most High,
    and he will receive a gift from the king.
³The skill of the physician lifts up his head,
    and in the presence of great men he is admired.
