Ben Sira 34:17

17 He lifts up the soul and gives light to the eyes; he grants healing, life, and blessing.

Ben Sira 34:17 In-Context

15 Blessed is the soul of the man who fears the Lord! To whom does he look? And who is his support?
16 The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him, a mighty protection and strong support, a shelter from the hot wind and a shade from noonday sun, a guard against stumbling and a defense against falling.
17 He lifts up the soul and gives light to the eyes; he grants healing, life, and blessing.
18 If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained, the offering is blemished; the gifts of the lawless are not acceptable.
19 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly; and he is not propitiated for sins by a multitude of sacrifices.
