Wis 11:22-26

22Indeed, before you the whole universe is like a grain from a balance,^*

or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.^o

23^* But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things;

and you overlook sins for the sake of repentance.^p

24For you love all things that are

and loathe nothing that you have made;

for you would not fashion what you hate.^q

25How could a thing remain, unless you willed it;

or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?^r

26But you spare all things, because they are yours,

O Ruler and Lover of souls,^s
