Sirach 18:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Before sickness take a medicine, and before judgment examine thyself, and thou shalt find mercy in the sight of God.

²¹ Humble thyself before thou art sick, and in the time of sickness shew thy conversation.

²² Let nothing hinder thee from praying always, and be not afraid to be justified even to death: for the reward of God continueth for ever.
