Honor Physicians for their
services,
For the Lord created them;
For their gift of healing
comes from the Most High,
And they are rewarded by
the King.
The skill of Physicians
makes them distinguished,
And in the presence of the
great they are admired.
The Lord created medicines
out of the earth,
And the sensible will not
despise them.
Was not water made sweet
with a tree
In order that its power
might be known?
And He gave skill to human
beings that
He might be glorified in
His marvelous works.
By them the Physician
heals and takes away pain;
The Pharmacist makes a
mixture from them.
God’s works will never be
finished;
And from Him health
spreads over all the earth.
My child, when you are ill, do not delay,
But pray to the Lord, and He will heal you.
Give up your faults and direct your hands rightly,
And cleanse your heart from all sin.
Offer a sweet-smelling sacrifice,
And a memorial portion of choice flour,
And pour oil on your offering,
As much as you can afford.
Then give the Physician his place,
For the Lord created him;
Do not let him leave you
For you need him.
There may come a time,
When recovery lies in the hands of Physicians,
For they too pray to the Lord,
That he grant them success in diagnosis,
And in healing, for the sake of preserving life.
He who sins against his Maker,
Will be defiant toward the Physician.
