Sirach 17 — GMV

17 Verse 1 The Lord created man of the earth, ^{Verse 2} He gave them few days, and a short time, ^{Verse 3} He endued them with strength by themselves, ^{Verse 4} And put the fear of man upon all flesh, ^{Verse 6} Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ^{Verse 7} Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, ^{Verse 8} He set his eye upon their hearts, ^{Verse 10} And they shall praise his holy name, ^{Verse 11} Beside this he gave them knowledge, ^{Verse 12} He made an everlasting covenant with them, ^{Verse 13} Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, ^{Verse 14} And he said unto them, ^{Verse 15} Their ways are ever before him, ^{Verse 17} For in the division of the nations of the whole earth ^{Verse 19} Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, ^{Verse 20} None of their unrighteous deeds are hidden from him, ^{Verse 22} The alms of a man is as a signet with him, ^{Verse 23} Afterward he will rise up and reward them, ^{Verse 24} But unto them that repent, he granted them return, ^{Verse 25} Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, ^{Verse 26} Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: ^{Verse 27} Who shall praise the most High in the grave, ^{Verse 28} Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: ^{Verse 29} How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, ^{Verse 30} For all things cannot be in men, ^{Verse 31} What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth: ^{Verse 32} He vieweth the power of the height of heaven;
