Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 12:18

σὺ δὲ δεσπόζων ἰσχύος ἐν ἐπιεικείᾳ κρίνεις καὶ μετὰ πολλῆς φειδοῦς διοικεῖς ἡμᾶς· πάρεστι γάρ σοι, ὅταν θέλῃς, τὸ δύνασθαι.
King James Version (KJV)

But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

Modern English

But mastering your own power, you govern with fairness, and treat us with great leniency, since you can exercise your power whenever you choose.
