10 Stay far from error,
direct your hands rightly,
    and cleanse your heart from all sin.
11 Offer a sweet-smelling sacrifice
and a memorial of fine flour,
    and pour an offering of oil,
    using what you can afford.[a]
12 And give doctors a place,
because the Lord created them also,
    and don’t let them leave you,
    because you indeed need them.
