Sirach 17:6-17 World English Bible (WEB)

6. Counsel, and tongue, and eyes, Ears, and heart, gave he them to understand withal.

7. He filled them with the knowledge of wisdom, And showed them good and evil.

8. He set his eye upon their hearts, To show them the majesty of his works.

10. And they shall praise the name of his holiness, That they may declare the majesty of his works.

11. He added to them knowledge, And gave them a law of life for a heritage.

12. He made an everlasting covenant with them, And showed them his judgements.

13. Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory; And their ear heard the glory of his voice.

14. And he said to them, Beware of all unrighteousness; And he gave them commandment, each man concerning his neighbor.

15. Their ways are ever before him; They shall not be hid from his eyes.

17. For every nation he appointed a ruler; And Israel is the Lord’s portion.
