13 The Lord hates every abomination; And they that fear him love it not.
14 He himself made man from the beginning, And left him in the hand of his own counsel.
15 If you will, you shall keep the commandments; And to perform faithfulness is of your own good pleasure.
16 He has set fire and water before you: You shall stretch forth your hand to whichever you will.
17 Before man is life and death; And whichever he likes, it shall be given him.
18 For great is the wisdom of the Lord: He is mighty in power, and sees all things;
19 And his eyes are upon them that fear him; And he will take knowledge of every work of man.
