Sirach 15:15–20

¹⁵ⁱIf thou wilt, to keep the commandments,

And to perform acceptable faithfulness.

^16kHe hath set fire and water before thee:

Stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.

^17lBefore man is life and death;

And whether him liketh shall be given him.

¹⁸For ^mthe wisdom of the Lord is great,

And he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:

¹⁹And ⁿhis eyes are upon them that fear him,

And ^ohe knoweth every work of man.

^20pHe hath commanded no man to do wickedly,

Neither hath he given any man licence to sin.
