Wisdom 11 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Wisdom of Solomon 11Wisdom Led the Israelites through the Desert

1 prospered their works by the hand of a holy prophet.

2 does in warning,

but you examined the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.

11Whether absent or present, they were equally distressed,

12for a twofold grief possessed them

and a groaning at the memory of what had occurred.

13 had received benefit, they perceived it was the Lord’s doing.

14

but the mere sight of them could kill by fright.

20 could fall at a single breath

when pursued by justice

and scattered by the breath of your power.

But you have arranged all things by measure and number and weight.

God Is Powerful and Merciful

21 2 Chr 20.6 For it is always in your power to show great strength,

and who can withstand the might of your arm?

22 Isa 40.15; Hos 6.4; 13.3 Because the whole world before you is like a speck that tips the scales

and like a drop of morning dew that falls on the ground.

23 Sir 18.13; Acts 17.30; 2 Pet 3.9 But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things,

and you overlook people’s sins, so that they may repent.

24 Ps 145.9 For you love all things that exist

and detest none of the things that you have made,

for you would not have formed anything if you had hated it.

25 Rom 4.17 How would anything have endured if you had not willed it?

Or how would anything not called forth by you have been preserved?

26 Wis 12.8, 16, 18 You spare all things, for they are yours, O Lord, you who love the living.
