Sirach 38:13–15

V
G

13  For there is a time when you may fall into their hands.

13  There is a time when in their hands there is good success.

14  Truly, they will beseech the Lord, so that he may direct their treatments and cures, for the sake of their way of life.

14  For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.

15  He who sins in the sight of the One who made him will fall into the hands of the physician.

15  He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.
