Ben Sira 17:10-20

10 And the elect shall praise His holy name.
11 Besides this He gave them knowledge, and the law of life for a heritage.
12 He made an everlasting covenant with them, and showed them His judgments.
13 Their eyes saw the majesty of His glory, and their ears heard His glorious voice.
14 And He said unto them, "Beware of all unrighteousness"; and He gave every man commandment concerning his neighbor.
15 Their ways are ever before Him, and shall not be hid from His eyes.
16 Every man from his youth is given to evil, neither could they make for themselves fleshy hearts from stony.
17 For in the division of the nations of the whole earth, He set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion,
18 whom, being His first-born, He nourisheth with discipline, and, giving him the light of His love, doth not forsake him.
19 Therefore all their works are as the sun before Him, and His eyes are continually upon their ways.
20 None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from Him, but all their sins are before the Lord.
