Wisdom 15:1-2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 15
1 [a]But you, our God, are good and true,
slow to anger, and governing all with mercy.(A)
2 For even if we sin, we are yours, and know your might;
but we will not sin, knowing that we belong to you.(B)
Footnotes
- 15:1–3 As often before (11:26; 12:2; 14:3–6), the author addresses God directly, so that chaps. 11–19 can be conceived as a more or less continuous prayer (cf. 11:7 and 19:22). This is the living God who is in stark contrast to the deadness of the idols that have been discussed. The merciful God (cf. Ex 34:6) is the source of immortality (1:15) for the community.
