Sirach

1 The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again.

6 He gave them counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart to devise.

17 For every nation he set a ruler: but Israel is the Lord's portion:

25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.

29 How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!
