17 You have a choice between life and death; you will get whichever you choose.

Ben Sira 15:17 In-Context

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.

18 The Lord's wisdom and power are great and he sees everything.

19 He is aware of everything a person does, and he takes care of those who fear him.
