15 | Their ways are always before him, they will not be hid from his eyes. | God is judge. Sir.17.15-24 | |
17 | He appointed a ruler for every nation, but Israel is the Lord's own portion. | οὐκ ἐκρύβησαν αἱ ἀδικίαι αὐτῶν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου. | |
19 | All their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways. | μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξαναστήσεται καὶ ἀνταποδώσει αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν ἀποδώσει· | |
20 | Their iniquities are not hidden from him, and all their sins are before the Lord. | πλὴν μετανοοῦσιν ἔδωκεν ἐπάνοδον, καὶ παρεκάλεσεν ἐκλείποντας ὑπομονήν. | |
22 | A man's almsgiving is like a signet with the Lord and he will keep a person's kindness like the apple of his eye. | ||
23 | Afterward he will arise and requite them, and he will bring their recompense on their heads. | ἐπάναγε ἐπὶ ὕψιστον καὶ ἀπόστρεφε ἀπὸ ἀδικίας, καὶ σφόδρα μίσησον βδέλυγμα. | |
24 | Yet to those who repent he grants a return, and he encourages those whose endurance is failing. |
