Wisdom 12:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Neither shall king, nor tyrant in thy sight inquire about them whom thou hast destroyed.

¹⁵ For so much then as thou art just, thou orderest all things justly: thinking it not agreeable to thy power, to condemn him who deserveth not to be punished.

¹⁶ For thy power is the beginning of justice: and because thou art Lord of all, thou makest thyself gracious to all.
