Sirach 15:15-20
15:15 If you choose, you can keep the commandments, and to act faithfully is a matter
of your own choice.
15:16 He has placed before you fire and water; stretch out your hand for whichever you choose.
15:17 Before each person are life and death, and whichever one chooses will be given.
15:18 For great is the wisdom of the Lord; he is mighty in power and sees everything;
15:19 his eyes are on those who fear him, and he knows every human action.
15:20 He has not commanded anyone to be wicked, and he has not given anyone permission to sin.
58:11 The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
58:12 Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
