Wisdom 12:9
Print
It’s not that you weren’t able to hand the ungodly over to the righteous or because you weren’t able to wipe out the ungodly from the face of the earth all at once by fierce beasts or with a powerful word.
Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once:
You could have allowed the righteous to destroy those ungodly people in battle; you could have wiped them out immediately with wild animals or with one harsh command.
Not that you were without power to have the wicked vanquished in battle by the righteous, or wiped out at once by terrible beasts or by one decisive word;
It was well within your power to have the godless vanquished in battle by the righteous or to destroy them in an instant by savage beasts or by one stern word.
though you were not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild animals or your stern word.
though you were not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild animals or your stern word.
though you were not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild animals or your stern word.
though you were not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild animals or your stern word.
though thou wast not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild beasts or thy stern word.
though thou wast not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild beasts or thy stern word.
Not for thou were unmighty to make wicked men subject to just men in battle, either to destroy at once, by cruel beasts, either by an hard word; [Not for thou were unmighty in battle to subject unpious men to rightwise men, or by cruel beasts, or by hard word to destroy (al)together;]
