God's Gifts to Men

The Lord created man out of the earth, and made him into his own image. He appointed a ruler for every nation, but Israel is the Lord's own portion. All their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways. Their iniquities are not hidden from him, and all their sins are before the Lord. 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. Return to the Most High and turn away from iniquity, and hate abominations intensely. Know the justice and the judgments of God, and stand firm against them.
