{15:15} He added his commandments and precepts.
{15:16} If you choose to keep the commandments, and if, having chosen them, you fulfill them with perpetual fidelity, they will preserve you.
{15:17} He has set water and fire before you. Extend your hand to whichever one you would choose.
{15:18} Before man is life and death, good and evil. Whichever one he chooses will be given to him.
{15:19} For the wisdom of God is manifold. And he is strong in power, seeing all things without ceasing.
{15:20} The eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him, and he knows each one of the works of man.
{15:21} He has commanded no one to act impiously, and he has given no one permission to sin.
{15:22} For he does not desire a multitude of unfaithful and useless sons.
