Sirach 15:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt.

¹⁸ Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him:

¹⁹ For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing.
