38:12 Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.

38:13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success.

38:14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.

38:15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.

38:16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

38:17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.

38:18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.

38:19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.

38:20 Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.

38:21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
