God created man of the earth,
and made him after his own image.
He gave him power over all things
that are upon the earth.
He put the fear of him upon all flesh,
and he had dominion over beasts and fowls.
he gave them counsel, and a tongue,
and eyes, and ears, and a heart to devise:
and he filled them with the knowledge of understanding.
He created in them the science of the spirit,
he filled their heart with wisdom,
and shewed them both good and evil.
He set his eye upon their hearts
to shew them the greatness of his works:
That they might praise the name
which he hath sanctified:
and glory in his wondrous acts,
that they might declare
the glorious things of his works.
Moreover, he gave them instructions,
and the law of life for an inheritance.
He made an everlasting covenant with them,
and he shewed them his justice and judgments.
And their eye saw the majesty of his glory.
and their ears heard his glorious voice,
and he said to them: Beware of all iniquity.
(The reference is to Sirach, chp.17,1-11)
