Sirach 42:14-16
Common English Bible
14 A man’s wickedness
is better than a woman who does good
and a disgraced woman
who brings shame.
God’s created order
15 Now I’ll call to mind the works
of the Lord,
and I’ll tell about what I’ve seen.
The Lord’s works came into being
by his words.[a]
16 The shining sun looked down
on everything,
and the Lord’s work is radiant
with his glory.
