Wisdom of Solomon 1:13-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ because God did not make death,
and he does not delight in the destruction of the living.^(A)
14 For he created all things so that they might exist;
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.^(B)
