e things that are, and abhorrest
nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made
any thing, if thou hadst hated it.

Wis 11:25
And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy
will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?

Wis 11:26
But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover
of souls.

Wis 12:1
For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.

Wis 12:2
Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that
offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein
they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may
believe on thee, O Lord.

Wis 12:3
For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers
both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,

Wis 12:4
Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts,
and wicked sacrifices;

Wis 12:5
And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers
of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood,

Wis 12:6
With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew,
and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls
destitute of help:

Wis 12:7
That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might
receive a worthy colony of God's children.

Wis 12:8
Nevertheless even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send
wasps, forerunners of thine host, to destroy them by little and
little.

Wis 12:9
Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the hand
of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with
cruel beasts, or with one rough word:

Wis 12:10
But executing thy judgments upon them by little and little,
thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that
they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred
in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.

Wis 12:11
For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst
thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things
wherein they sinned.

Wis 12:12
For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall
withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for the nations
that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against
thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?

Wis 12:13
For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to
whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright.

Wis 12:14
Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against
thee for any whom thou hast punished.

Wis 12:15
Forsomuch then as thou
