Wisdom 12:15
Print
You always do what’s right. You’ve always governed all things correctly. You’d consider it a crime against yourself to destroy someone who didn’t deserve to be cut down.
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.
You are righteous, and you rule everything righteously. You have never used your power to condemn a person who does not deserve to be punished.
But as you are righteous, you govern all things righteously; you regard it as unworthy of your power to punish one who has incurred no blame.
You are righteous, and you govern all things with righteousness, considering it not in keeping with your power to condemn anyone not deserving of punishment.
You are righteous and you rule all things righteously, deeming it alien to your power to condemn anyone who does not deserve to be punished.
You are righteous and you rule all things righteously, deeming it alien to your power to condemn anyone who does not deserve to be punished.
You are righteous and you rule all things righteously, deeming it alien to your power to condemn anyone who does not deserve to be punished.
You are righteous, and you rule all things righteously, deeming it alien to your power to condemn anyone who does not deserve to be punished.
Thou art righteous and rulest all things righteously, deeming it alien to thy power to condemn him who does not deserve to be punished.
Thou art righteous and rulest all things righteously, deeming it alien to thy power to condemn him who does not deserve to be punished.
Therefore since thou art just, thou disposest justly all things; also father, thou condemnest him, that oweth (or ought) not to be punished, and thou guessest him a stranger from thy virtue. [Since then thou art rightwise, all things rightwisely thou disposest; him also, O! father, that oweth not to be punished, condemning, and strange thou esteemest from thy virtue.]
