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.
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.
23
Yet precisely because you can do all things, you show mercy to everyone. You overlook their sins, giving them a chance to change their hearts and minds.
24
You love everything that exists. You despise nothing that you have made. If you hated it, you wouldn't have created it.
25
Nothing could survive unless you had willed it. Nothing could remain unless you continued to call it into being.
26
You spare all things because all things are yours, ruler and lover of life.
