Ben Sira 38:6 In-Context

4 The Lord created medicines out of the earth, and the sensible will not despise them.

5 Was not water made sweet with a tree in order that its power might be known?

6 And he gave skill to human beings that he might be glorified in his marvelous works.

7 By them the physician heals and takes away pain;

8 the pharmacist makes a mixture from them. God's works will never be finished; and from him health spreads over all the earth.
