Sirach 38:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴     for they too will pray to the Lord
that he should grant them success in diagnosis^[a]
    and in healing, for the sake of preserving life.
¹⁵ He who sins before his Maker,
    may he fall into the care^[b] of a physician.

¹⁶ My son, let your tears fall for the dead,
    and as one who is suffering grievously begin the lament.
Lay out his body with the honor due him,
    and do not neglect his burial.
