Ben Sira 15:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Abominable wickedness the Lord hates
and he does not let it happen to those who fear him.
14 God in the beginning created human beings
and made them subject to their own free choice.(A)
15 If you choose, you can keep the commandments;
loyalty is doing the will of God.
