Sirach 17
- 1 The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again.
- 2 He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also over the things therein.
- 3 He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image,
- 4 And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls.
- 5 They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof.
- 6 Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand.
- 7 Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil.
- 8 He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works.
- 9 He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding.
- 10 And the elect shall praise his holy name.
- 11 Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.
- 12 He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed 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 neighbour.
- 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 to themselves fleshy hearts for 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 firstborn, 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
- 21 But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.
- 22 The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons and daughters.
- 23 Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.
- 24 But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.
- 25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.
- 26 Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.
- 27 Who shall praise the most High in the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks?
- 28 Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord.
- 29 How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!
- 30 For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal.
- 31 What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.
- 32 He vieweth the power of the height of heaven; and all men are but earth and ashes.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.
