Wisdom 11:23

23 But thou art merciful to all, for thou canst do all things, and thou dost overlook men's sins, that they may repent.

Wisdom 11:23 In-Context

21 For it is always in thy power to show great strength, and who can withstand the might of thy arm?
22 Because the whole world before thee is like a speck that tips the scales, and like a drop of morning dew that falls upon the ground.
23 But thou art merciful to all, for thou canst do all things, and thou dost overlook men's sins, that they may repent.
24 For thou lovest all things that exist, and hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made, for thou wouldst not have made anything if thou hadst hated it.
25 How would anything have endured if thou hadst not willed it? Or how would anything not called forth by thee have been preserved?
