Wisdom 12:16

16 For thy strength is the source of righteousness, and thy sovereignty over all causes thee to spare all.

Wisdom 12:16 In-Context

14 nor can any king or monarch confront thee about those whom thou hast punished.

15 Thou art righteous and rulest all things righteously, deeming it alien to thy power to condemn him who does not deserve to be punished.

16 For thy strength is the source of righteousness, and thy sovereignty over all causes thee to spare all.

17 For thou dost show thy strength when men doubt the completeness of thy power, and dost rebuke any insolence among those who know it.

18 Thou who art sovereign in strength dost judge with mildness, and with great forbearance thou dost govern us; for thou hast power to act whenever thou dost choose.
