CHAPTER 17.
GOD created man of the earth, and made him after his own image.
2 And he turned him into it again, and clothed him with
strength according to himself.
3 He gave him the number of his days and time, and gave
him power over all things that are upon the earth.
4 He put the fear of him upon all flesh, and he had
dominion over beasts and fowls.
5 He created of him a helpmate like to himself: he gave
them counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, and ears, and a heart to devise: and he
filled them with the knowledge of understanding.
6 He created in them the science of the spirit, he
filled their heart with wisdom, and shewed them both good and evil.
7 He set his eye upon their hearts to shew them the
greatness of his works:
8 That they might praise the name which he hath
sanctified: and glory in his wondrous acts, that they might declare the
glorious things of his works.
9 Moreover he gave them instructions, and the law of
life for an inheritance.
10 He made an everlasting covenant with them, and he
shewed them his justice and judgments.
11 And their eye saw the majesty of his glory. and
their ears heard his glorious voice, and he said to them: Beware of all
iniquity.
12 And he gave to every one of them commandment
concerning his neighbour.
13 Their ways are always before him, they are not
hidden from his eyes.
14 Over every nation he set a ruler.
15 And Israel was made the manifest portion of God.
16 And all their works are as the sun in the sight of
God: and his eyes are continually upon their ways.
17 Their covenants were not hid by their iniquity, and
all their iniquities are in the sight of God.
18 The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and shall
preserve the grace of a man as the apple of the eye:
19 And afterward he shall rise up, and shall render
them their reward, to every one upon their own head, and shall turn them down
into the bowels of the earth.
20 But to the penitent he hath given the way of
justice, and he hath strengthened them that were fainting in patience, and hath
appointed to them the lot of truth.
21 Turn to the Lord, and forsake thy sins:
22 Make thy prayer before the face of the Lord, and
offend less.
23 Return to the Lord, and turn away from thy
injustice, and greatly hate abomination.
24 And know the justices and judgments of God, and
stand firm in the lot set before thee, and in prayer to the most high God.
25 Go to the side of the holy age, with them that live
and give praise to God.
26 Tarry not in the error of the ungodly, give glory
before death. Praise perisheth from the dead as nothing.
27 Give thanks whilst thou art living, whilst thou art
alive and in health thou shalt give thanks, and shalt praise God, and shalt glory
in his mercies.
28 How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his
forgiveness to them that turn to him I
29 For all things cannot be in men, because the son of
man is not immortal, and they are delighted with the vanity of evil.
30 What is brighter than the sun; yet it shall be
eclipsed. Or what is more wicked than that which flesh and blood hath invented?
and this shall be reproved.
31 He beholdeth the power of the height of heaven: and
all men are earth and ashes.
