17
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.
9 He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding.
14 And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his
neighbour.
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.
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.
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.
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!
