Say not: I have been rebellious, but it is God's fault! Say not: he has caused me to err, for he has no need of a sinful man. The Lord hates every abomination. Those who fear him love it not. He made men from the beginning and gave them understanding If you will, you shall keep the commandments. Before man is life and death, and whichever he likes, it shall be given to him. For great is the wisdom of the Lord. His eyes are upon those who fear him. He sees through flattery.
