Wisdom 11:18-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

18. Or newly created, wrathful, unknown beastsbreathing forth fiery breath,Or pouring out roaring smoke,or flashing terrible sparks from their eyes.

19. Not only could these attack and completely destroy them;even their frightful appearance itself could slay.

20. Even without these, they could have been killed at a single blast,pursued by justiceand winnowed by your mighty spirit.But you have disposed all things by measure and number and weight.

21. For great strength is always present with you;who can resist the might of your arm?

22. Indeed, before you the whole universe is like a grain from a balance,or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.

23. But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things;and you overlook sins for the sake of repentance.
