God’s gifts and instructions to humanity

Sir 17:1–14

17 The master created mankind out of earth,[ref]

and turned them back to it again.[ref]

2 He gave them days by number, and a set time,

and gave them authority over the things that are on it.

3 He endowed them with strength proper to them,

and made them according to his own image.[ref]

4 He put the fear of man upon all flesh,

and gave him dominion over animals and birds. 5 [fn]

6 He gave them counsel, tongue, eyes,

ears, and heart to have understanding.

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. 9 [fn]

10 And they will praise his holy name,

that they may declare the majesty of his works.[fn]

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 decrees.

13 Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory.

Their ears heard the glory of his voice.

14 He said to them, “Beware of all unrighteousness.”

So he gave them commandment, each man concerning his neighbour.
