Ecclesiasticus Chapter 17

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.
