1Yahuah created mankind out of earth, and turned them back to it again. 2He gave them days by number, and a set time, and gave them authority over the things that are on it. 3He endowed them with strength proper to them, and made them according to his own image. 4He put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and birds. 5They received the use of the five operations of Yahuah, and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in the seventh, speech, an interpreter of the thoughts thereof. 6He gave them counsel, tongue, eyes, ears, and heart to have understanding. 7He filled them with the knowledge of wisdom, and showed them good and evil. 8He set his eye upon their hearts, to show them the majesty of his works. 9Moreover, he gave them glory in his marvelous acts forever, that they might declare his works with understanding. 10And they will praise his set-apart name, that they may declare the majesty of his works. 11He added to them knowledge, and gave them a law of life for a heritage. 12He made an everlasting covenant with them, and showed them his decrees. 13Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory. Their ears heard the glory of his voice. 14He said to them, “Beware of all unrighteousness.” So he gave them commandment, each man concerning his neighbor. 15Their ways are ever before him. They will not be hidden from his eyes. 16Their ways from their youth tend to evil, and they could not make for themselves hearts of flesh in place of stony ones. 17For every nation he appointed a ruler, but Israel is Yahuah’s portion. 18For Israel is to him the portion of the firstborn, whom, being his firstborn, he nourishes with discipline; and giving him the light of his love, does not forsake him. 19All their works are as clear as the sun before him. His eyes are continually upon their ways. 20Their iniquities are not hidden from him. All their sins are before Yahuah. 21But Yahuah, being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither leaves nor forsakes them, but spares them. 22With him the alms of a man is as a signet. He will keep a man’s kindness as the pupil of the eye. 23Afterwards he will rise up and repay them, and give their repayment upon their head. 24However to those who repent he grants a return. He comforts those who are losing hope. 25Return to Yahuah, and forsake sins. Make your prayer before his face offend less. 26Turn again to the Most High, and turn away from iniquity. Greatly hate the abominable thing. 27Who will give praise to the Most High in Hades, in place of the living who return thanks? 28Thanksgiving perishes from the dead, as from one who doesn’t exist. He who is in life and health will praise Yahuah. 29How great is the mercy of Yahuah, and his forgiveness to those who turn to him! 30For humans are not capable of everything, because the son of man is not immortal. 31What is brighter than the sun? Yet even this can be eclipsed. So flesh and blood devise evil. 32He looks upon the power of the height of heaven, while all men are earth and ashes.
