Sirach 15:15-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 If you choose, you can keep the commandments,
and to act faithfully is a matter of your choice.
16 He has placed before you fire and water;
stretch out your hand for whichever you choose.
17 Before each person are life and death,
and whichever one chooses will be given.(A)
18 For great is the wisdom of the Lord;
he is mighty in power and sees everything;(B)
19 his eyes are on those who fear him,
and he knows every human action.(C)
20 He has not commanded anyone to be ungodly,
and he has not given anyone permission to sin.(D)
