Wisdom 11:23

Chapter I (The Six Days of Creation)

• God (Elohim): Thirteen Definitions — Twelfth definition of God: the world is a speck before Him

  "As a speck on a balance, so is the world before You, and as a drop of early morning dew that falls upon the earth."

• God (Elohim): Thirteen Definitions — God preserves and governs the world; Wisdom 11:23 teaches this

  "just as the world was created by God, so it is preserved and governed by the same, as Job xxxiv, 18 and following, and Wisdom xi, 23 and following teach."

• He Created — The world is like a drop from a bucket, a drop of dew compared to God

  "the world in relation to God is like a drop from a bucket, and like a drop of dew"
