Wisdom 16:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ held back its power, so that your own righteous people might have food.

²⁴ You created the universe; it is at your command. All creation uses its power to punish unrighteous people, but it becomes mild and kind to those who put their trust in you. ²⁵ Creation assumed all kinds of forms to show how you provide generously for all who pray to you.^[a]
