Wisdom 15:1

1 But you, our God, are kind and true, patient, and ruling all things in mercy.

Wisdom 15:1 In-Context

1 But you, our God, are kind and true, patient, and ruling all things in mercy.

2 For even if we sin we are yours, knowing your power; but we will not sin, because we know that you acknowledge us as yours.

3 For to know you is complete righteousness, and to know your power is the root of immortality.

4 For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colors,

5 whose appearance arouses yearning in fools, so that they desire the lifeless form of a dead image.
