Sirach 15:17

17 Life and death are in front of human beings; and they will be granted whichever they please,

Sirach 15:17 In-Context

15 If you choose to, you will keep the commandments, and keep faith out of goodwill.

16 He has put fire and water before you; you can stretch out your hand for whichever you choose.

17 Life and death are in front of human beings; and they will be granted whichever they please,

18 because the wisdom of the Lord is great; he's mighty in authority, he sees everything,

19 his eyes are upon those who fear him, and he knows every human action.
