Wisdom 11:17
Print
Your all-powerful hand, which had brought the world into being out of formless matter, would have been more than able to send a host of bears and fierce lions against them.
That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented.
Your almighty power, Lord, created the world out of material that had no form at all. You could easily have punished those people by sending an invasion of bears or savage lions.
For not without means was your almighty hand, that had fashioned the universe from formless matter, to send upon them many bears or fierce lions,
For your all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, had the wherewithal to send upon them a host of bears or savage lions,
For your all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions,
For your all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions,
For your all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions,
For your all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears or bold lions
For thy all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions,
For thy all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions,
For why thine hand almighty [or thine almighty hand], that made the world of matter unseen, was not unmighty to send into them a multitude of bears, either [or] hardy lions,
