Wisdom 12:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 For who can say to you, “What have you done?”
or who can oppose your decree?
Or when peoples perish, who can challenge you, their maker;
or who can come into your presence to vindicate the unrighteous?(A)
13 For neither is there any god besides you who have the care of all,
that you need show you have not unjustly condemned;(B)
14 Nor can any king or prince confront you on behalf of those you have punished.(C)
