Wisdom 16:13LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 29

"For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again:"
Wisdom 16:13

In context

11For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help.

12For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.

13For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again:

14A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received:

15But it is impossible to escape thy hand.
