Sirach 15:15-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ He added his commandments and precepts.

¹⁶ If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee.

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.

²⁰ The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man.
