Wisdom 16:15LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 15 of 29
"But it is impossible to escape thy hand."
In context
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.
16For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire.
17And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just.
