Wisdom of Solomon 11:22–12:1

22 For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm?

23 For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth.

24 But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance.

25 For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it.

26 And how could any thing endure, if thou wouldst not? or be preserved, if not called by thee?

27 But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls.

Chapter 12

O how good and sweet is thy Spirit, O Lord, in all things!

21 For it is always in your power to show great strength,

and who can withstand the might of your arm?

22 Because the whole world before you is like a speck that tips the scales

and like a drop of morning dew that falls on the ground.

23 But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things,

and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.

24 For you love all things that exist

and detest none of the things that you have made,

for you would not have formed anything if you had hated it.

25 How would anything have endured if you had not willed it?

Or how would anything not called forth by you have been preserved?

26 You spare all things, for they are yours, O Lord, you who love the living.

1 For your immortal spirit is in all things.
