Wisdom 11:23
Print
Yet precisely because you can do all things, you show mercy to everyone. You overlook their sins, giving them a chance to change their hearts and minds.
For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth:
You are powerful enough to do anything, but you are merciful to everyone; you overlook our sins and give us time to repent.
But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook sins for the sake of repentance.
Yet you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook men’s sins so that they may repent.
But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.
But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.
But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.
But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.
But thou art merciful to all, for thou canst do all things, and thou dost overlook men’s sins, that they may repent.
But thou art merciful to all, for thou canst do all things, and thou dost overlook men’s sins, that they may repent.
And thou hast mercy of (or for) all things [or for all], for thou mayest (or thou be able to) (do) all things; and thou dissemblest, either forbearest, the sins of men, for penance. [And thou hast mercy of all, for all things thou mayest (or thou can do); and thou forbearest the sins of men, for penance.]
