14 He created humanity at the beginning,and he left them to the powerof their choices.
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 handfor whichever you choose.
17 Life and death are in frontof human beings;and they will be grantedwhichever they please,
18 because the wisdomof 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.
20 He doesn’t command anyoneto be ungodly,and he doesn’t give anyonea license to sin.
