Wisdom 16:14

14 A person in wickedness kills another, but cannot bring back the departed spirit, or set free the imprisoned soul.

Wisdom 16:14 In-Context

12 For neither herb nor poultice cured them, but it was your word, O Lord, that heals all people.
13 For you have power over life and death; you lead mortals down to the gates of Hades and back again.
14 A person in wickedness kills another, but cannot bring back the departed spirit, or set free the imprisoned soul.
15 To escape from your hand is impossible;
16 for the ungodly, refusing to know you, were flogged by the strength of your arm, pursued by unusual rains and hail and relentless storms, and utterly consumed by fire.
