Wisdom 11:25-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
