MAN GOD'S IMAGE

God from the earth created man, and in his own image he made him.
He makes man return to earth again, and endows him with a strength
of his own. Limited days of life he gives him, with power over all
things else on earth.
He puts the fear of him in all flesh, and gives him rule over
beasts and birds.  He created for them counsel, and a tongue
and eyes and ears and an inventive heart, and filled them with
understanding.  He created in them knowledge of the spirit.
With wisdom he fills their heart; good and evil he shows them. Sir. 17:1-5
