Sirach 38 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Sirach 38Concerning Physicians and Health

1 power might be known?

6And he gave skill to human beings

that he might be glorified in his marvelous works.

7 heals and takes away pain;

8the pharmacist makes a mixture from them.

God’s works will never be finished,

and from him health spreads over all the earth.

9

12

14for they, too, pray to the Lord

that he grant them success in diagnosis

and in healing, for the sake of preserving life.

15 On Mourning for the Dead

16 no good, and you injure yourself.

22 fate, for yours is like it;

yesterday it was his, and today it is yours.

23

and his eyes are on the pattern of the object.

He sets his heart on finishing his handiwork,

and he loses sleep to complete its decoration.

29 the kiln.

31All these rely on their hands,

and all are skillful in their own work.

32Without them no city can be inhabited,

and wherever they live they will not go hungry.

Yet they are not sought out for the council of the people,

33nor do they attain eminence in the public assembly.

They do not sit in the judge’s seat,

nor do they understand the decisions of the courts;

they cannot expound discipline or judgment,

and they are not found among the rulers.

34But they maintain the fabric of the world,

and their concern is for the exercise of their trade.

The Activity of the Scribe

How different the one who devotes himself

to the study of the law of the Most High!
