Don’t invite death by doing evil

Wis 1:12–16

1:12 Don’t invite death by doing evil

12 Don’t court death in the error of your life.

Don’t draw destruction on yourselves by the works of your hands;

13 because God didn’t make death,

neither does he delight when the living perish.

14 Because he created all things that they might have being.

The generative powers of the world are wholesome,

and there’s no poison of destruction in them,

nor has Haidais[fn] royal dominion on earth;

15 for righteousness is immortal,

16 but ungodly men by their hands and their words summon death;

deeming him a friend they[fn] pined away.

They made a covenant with him,

because they’re worthy to belong with him.
