23
But you are merciful to all, for you can do all things, and you overlook people's sins, so that they may repent.
24
For you love all things that exist, and detest none of the things that you have made, for you would not have made anything if you had hated it.
25
How would anything have endured if you had not willed it? Or how would anything not called forth by you have been preserved?
26
You spare all things, for they are yours, O Lord, you who love the living.
