From God a physician getteth wisdom; And from a king he shall receive gifts.

The skill of a physician shall lift up his head; And he shall stand before nobles.

God bringeth out medicines from the earth; And let a prudent man not refuse them.

Was not water made sweet with wood, For to acquaint every man with his (M their) power?

And he gave man understanding; To glory in his (M their) might.

By them doth the physician assuage pain; And likewise the apothecary maketh a confection:

That his work may not fail (?); Nor health from among the sons of men (M his earth).
