12. For indeed, neither herb nor application cured them,but your all-healing word, O Lord!
13. For you have dominion over life and death;you lead down to the gates of Hades and lead back.
14. Human beings, however, may kill another with malice,but they cannot bring back the departed spirit,or release the soul that death has confined.
15. Your hand no one can escape.
16. For the wicked who refused to know youwere punished by the might of your arm,Were pursued by unusual rains and hailstorms and unremitting downpours,and were consumed by fire.
