Wisdom 16:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² For neither herb nor poultice cured them,
but it was your word, O Lord, that heals all people.
¹³ For you have power over life and death;
you lead mortals down to the gates of Hades and back again.
¹⁴ A person in wickedness kills another,
but cannot bring back the departed spirit,
or set free the imprisoned soul.
