Wisdom 11:20

Listen to Wisdom 11:20
Or without any of these, your enemies could have been cut down by a single breath—pursued by your justice and crushed by a powerful breath.

Digressions on divine justice

20 But you have set all things in right order by proportion: by measure, by number, and by weight.

Wisdom 11:20 In-Context

18 Or they could have been met by newly created beasts that no one had ever seen before, full of rage, breathing fire, belching smoke, and shooting deadly sparks from their eyes.
19 The damage that these beasts would have been able to do would have been more than enough to wipe out your enemies. Just the sight of them would have been enough to make them die from fear!
20 Or without any of these, your enemies could have been cut down by a single breath—pursued by your justice and crushed by a powerful breath. But you have set all things in right order by proportion: by measure, by number, and by weight.
21 You are indeed able at any time to carry out mighty deeds. Who could possibly withstand the strength of your arm?
22 Before you, the whole world is nothing but dust on the scale or but a drop of dew that falls to earth in the night.
