Wisdom 1:13-15
Revised Standard Version
Wisdom 1:13-15
Revised Standard Version
13 because God did not make death,
and he does not delight in the death of the living.
14 For he created all things that they might exist,
and the generative forces[a] of the world are wholesome,
and there is no destructive poison in them;
and the dominion[b] of Hades is not on earth.
15 For righteousness is immortal.
