24. But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance.
25. For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it.
26. And how could any thing endure, if thou wouldst not? or be preserved, if not called by thee.
27. But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls.
