11. for they were a people accursed from the beginning.Neither out of fear for anyonedid you grant release from their sins.
12. For who can say to you, “What have you done?”or who can oppose your decree?Or when peoples perish, who can challenge you, their maker;or who can come into your presence to vindicate the unrighteous?
13. For neither is there any god besides you who have the care of all,that you need show you have not unjustly condemned;
14. Nor can any king or prince confront you on behalf of those you have punished.
15. But as you are righteous, you govern all things righteously;you regard it as unworthy of your powerto punish one who has incurred no blame.
16. For your might is the source of righteousness;your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.
17. For you show your might when the perfection of your power is disbelieved;and in those who know you, you rebuke insolence.
