Wisdom of Solomon 1:13–15

13 For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.

14 For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth.

15 For justice is perpetual and immortal.

Wisdom of Solomon 1:13–15 — New Revised Standard Version: Updated Edition (NRSVue)

13 because God did not make death,

and he does not delight in the destruction of the living.

14 For he created all things so that they might exist;

the generative forces of the world are wholesome,

and there is no destructive poison in them,

and the dominion of Hades is not on earth.

15 For righteousness is immortal.
