Wisdom 12:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Therefore since thou art just, thou disposest justly all things; also father, thou condemnest him, that oweth (or ought) not to be punished^[a], and thou guessest him a stranger from thy virtue. [Since then thou art rightwise, all things rightwisely thou disposest; him also, O! father, that oweth not to be punished, condemning, and strange thou esteemest from thy virtue.]

¹⁶ For why thy virtue (or thy power) is the beginning of rightfulness; and for this (or because of this), that thou art lord (or the Lord) of all men, thou makest thee to spare all men. [Forsooth thy virtue is the beginning of rightwiseness; and for that, that of all thou art lord, to all thou makest thee to spare.]

¹⁷ For thou, that art not believed to be perfect [or full ended] in virtue (or in strength), thou showest virtue (or strength); and thou leadest over these men, that know not thee, in hardiness.
