Sirach 15:15-20
Common English Bible
15 If you choose to,
you will keep the commandments,
and keep faith out of goodwill.[a]
16 He has put fire and water before you;
you can stretch out your hand
for whichever you choose.
17 Life and death are in front
of human beings;
and they will be granted
whichever they please,
18 because the wisdom
of the Lord is great;
he’s mighty in authority,
he sees everything,
19 his eyes are upon those who fear him,
and he knows every human action.
20 He doesn’t command anyone
to be ungodly,
and he doesn’t give anyone
a license to sin.
