1. Honor a physician according to your need of him with the honors due to him: For verily the Lord has created him.
2. For from the Most High comes healing; And from the king he shall receive a gift.
3. The skill of the physician shall lift up his head; And in the sight of great men he shall be admired.
4. The Lord created medicines out of the earth; And a prudent man will have no disgust at them.
5. Was not water made sweet with wood, That the virtue thereof might be known?
