Sirach 15:8

“For “behold I set before thee life and death;” meaning that death would result from disobedience of the spiritual law, that is of the commandment; and from obedience to the carnal law, that is the counsel of the serpent; for by such a choice “I am sold” to the devil, fallen under sin.” — editor's note: Jer. xxi. 8; Ecclus. xv. 8; Deut. xxx. 15.

“Again we read in Solomon, touching wisdom: ‘Men that are liars cannot remember her, but men of truth shall be found in her.’” — editor's note: Ecclus. xv. 8.
