Wisdom 12:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ You always do what’s right. You’ve always governed all things correctly. You’d consider it a crime against yourself to destroy someone who didn’t deserve to be cut down. ¹⁶ Your strength is the very origin of doing the right thing. Because you rule over all, you spare all. ¹⁷ You show your strength to those who doubt how powerful you really are. You condemn the pride of those who should know better than to doubt you.
