Wisdom 11:19–26
19which had power not only to consume them by their violence, but to destroy them even by the terror of their sight.↗
20Yes and without these they might have fallen by a single breath, being pursued by Justice, and scattered abroad by the breath of your power; but you arranged all things by measure, number, and weight.↗
21For to be greatly strong is yours at all times. Who could withstand the might of your arm?↗
22Because the whole world before you is as a grain in a balance, and as a drop of dew that comes down upon the earth in the morning.↗
23But you have mercy on all men, because you have power to do all things, and you overlook the sins of men to the end that they may repent.↗
24For you love all things that are, and abhor none of the things which you made; For you never would have formed anything if you hated it.↗
25How would anything have endured unless you had willed it? Or that which was not called by you, how would it have been preserved?↗
26But you spare all things, because they are yours, O Sovereign Lord, you who love the living.↗
