Wisdom 1:13

13 For God made not death; neither hath He pleasure in the destruction of the living.

Wisdom 1:13 In-Context

11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable, and restrain your tongue from backbiting; for there is no word so secret that shall go for nought, and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.
12 Seek not death by the error of your life, and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.
13 For God made not death; neither hath He pleasure in the destruction of the living.
14 For He created all things, that they might have their being; and the generations of the world were healthful, and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth.
15 For righteousness is immortal.
