Sirach 38:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
14 for they too pray to the Lord
that he grant them success in diagnosis[a]
and in healing, for the sake of preserving life.
15 He who sins against his Maker,
will be defiant toward the physician.[b]
On Mourning for the Dead
16 My child, let your tears fall for the dead,
and as one in great pain begin the lament.
Lay out the body with due ceremony,
and do not neglect the burial.
