Sirach 17:3 CPDV

¹  God created man from the earth, and he made him according to his own image.

²  And he returned him again to it, and he clothed him with virtue according to himself.

³  He gave him the number and time of his days, and he gave him authority over all the things that are upon the earth.

⁴  He placed the fear of him over all flesh, and he had dominion over wild beasts and flying things.

⁵  He created from him a helper, similar to himself. He gave them counsel, and language, and sight, and hearing, and a heart, in order to think. And he filled them with the discipline of understanding.
