Ben Sira 38:12 In-Context

10 Confess all your sins and determine that in the future you will live a righteous life.

11 Offer incense and a grain offering, as fine as you can afford.

12 Then call the doctor - for the Lord created him - and keep him at your side; you need him.

13 There are times when you have to depend on his skill.

14 The doctor's prayer is that the Lord will make him able to ease his patients' pain and make them well again.
