Ben Sira 15:15 In-Context

13 The Lord hates evil in all its forms, and those who fear the Lord find nothing attractive in evil.
14 When, in the beginning, the Lord created human beings, he left them free to do as they wished.
15 If you want to, you can keep the Lord's commands. You can decide whether you will be loyal to him or not.
16 He has placed fire and water before you; reach out and take whichever you want.
17 You have a choice between life and death; you will get whichever you choose.
