Wisdom 11:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 Even without these, they could have been killed at a single blast,
pursued by justice
and winnowed by your mighty spirit.
But you have disposed all things by measure and number and weight.(A)
21 For great strength is always present with you;
who can resist the might of your arm?(B)
22 Indeed, before you the whole universe is like a grain from a balance,[a]
or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.(C)
