Given by: the inspired teacher, contemplating God's mercy in His governance. Given to: every reader, as a declared truth that God's power is shown in mercy and His forbearance is an invitation to repent.

Against the notion that a god's power means quick vengeance, the book teaches that the God of Israel shows His power precisely in mercy, sparing sinners to give them room to repent.

But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance.

God, who can do all things, has mercy on all and passes over sins so that people may come to repentance.

Wisdom of Solomon 11:24
