Wisdom 12:15
For so much then as thou art just, thou orderest all things justly: thinking it not agreeable to thy power, to condemn him who deserveth not to be punished.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Cum ergo sis justus, juste omnia disponis ; ipsum quoque qui non debet puniri, condemnare, exterum æstimas a tua virtute.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- δίκαιος δὲ ὢν δικαίως τὰ πάντα διέπεις, αὐτὸν τὸν μὴ ὀφείλοντα κολασθῆναι καταδικάσαι ἀλλότριον ἡγούμενος τῆς σῆς δυνάμεως.
Haydock's commentary
Punished. (St. Augustine, ep. 106.) Some have read incorrectly: "Thou condemnest him who ought not to be punished, and deemest him a stranger to thy virtue," which St. Gregory (Mor. iii. 11.) explains of Jesus Christ, the victim of sinners; others, of people born in sin, (Lyranus) while some would hence prove the decree of reprobation. (Duran.)
But it is needless to explain a text which the Greek shews to be inaccurate. (Calmet)
