Wisdom 16:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² For neither herb nor poultice cured them,
but it was thy word, O Lord, which heals all men.
¹³ For thou hast power over life and death;
thou dost lead men down to the gates of Hades and back again.
¹⁴ A man in his wickedness kills another,
but he cannot bring back the departed spirit,
nor set free the imprisoned soul.
