Sirach 17:1 Douay-Rheims

God created man of the earth, and made him after his own image.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

And made. This is transposed in Greek to the end of the third verse. (Haydock) — The creation of other things had been specified before. Man was designed to be immortal, and was made like to God in his soul, which is spiritual, intelligent, &c. But sin caused his days to be shortened. (Calmet) — By original sin, he lost the justice which he had at first received. (Worthington)
