CHAP. XII.
2 God did not destroy those of Canaan all at once. 12 If he had done so, who could controll him? 19 but by sparing them hee taught vs, 27 they were punished with their Gods.
1 For thine vncorruptible spirit is in all things.
3 For it was thy will to destroy by the handes of our fathers, both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,3
4 Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious workes of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;4
5 And also those mercilesse murderers of children, & deuourers of mans flesh, and the feasts of blood;
7 That the land which thou esteemedst aboue all other, might receiue a worthy colonie of Gods children.7
8 Neuerthelesse, euen those thou sparedst as men, and didst send waspes forerunners of thine hoste, to destroy them by little and little.8
11 For it was a cursed seed, from the beginning, neither didst thou for feare of any man giue them pardon for those things wherein they sinned.11
12 For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy iudgement, or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish whom thou hast made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be reuenged for the vnrighteous men?12
13 For neither is there any God but thou, that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy iudgement is not vnright.13
14 Neither shall king or tyrant bee able to set his face against thee, for any whom thou hast punished.
15 For so much then as thou art righteous thy selfe, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemne him þt hath not deserued to be punished.15
17 For when men will not beleeue, that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it, thou makest their boldnesse manifest.17
23 Wherefore, whereas men haue liued dissolutely and vnrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their owne abominations.23
24 For they went astray very farre in the wayes of errour, & held them for gods (which euen amongst the beasts of their enemies were despised) being deceiued as children of no vnderstanding.24
