Sirach 15:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ The Lord hates evil in all its forms, and those who fear the Lord find nothing attractive in evil. ¹⁴ When, in the beginning, the Lord created human beings, he left them free to do as they wished. ¹⁵ If you want to, you can keep the Lord's commands. You can decide whether you will be loyal to him or not.
