14 They will also ask the Lord
    so that he might grant them rest[a]
    and healing in order to preserve life.
15 May those who sin against their creator
    fall into the hands of a doctor.

On mourning

16 My child, let your tears flow for the dead;
        as one who is suffering terribly,
        give voice to your sorrow.
    Lay out their bodies in accordance
    with their wishes,
        and don’t neglect their burial.
