Ben Sira 15:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Do not say: “He himself has led me astray,”
for he has no need of the wicked.(A)
13 Abominable wickedness the Lord hates
and he does not let it happen to those who fear him.
14 God in the beginning created human beings
and made them subject to their own free choice.(B)
