Wisdom 12:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ You are righteous, and you rule everything righteously. You have never used your power to condemn a person who does not deserve to be punished. ¹⁶ Your strength is the source of justice. You can show mercy to everyone, because you are the Lord of all. ¹⁷ You show your strength when people doubt that your power is perfect, and you punish anyone who knows your power but dares to ignore it.
