23. For, like a tiny grain on a scale, just so is the world before you, and like a drop dew before dawn, which descends upon the earth.
24. But you are merciful to all, because you can do all, and you dismiss the sins of man because of repentance.
25. For you love all things that are, and you hate nothing of the things you have made; for you would not have created or established anything that you hated.
26. For how could anything endure, except by your will? Or what, having been called by you not to exist, would be preserved?
27. Yet you spare all things, because they are yours, O Lord, who loves souls.
