Lectio brevis (Sap 1, 13-14 a. 15)
Deus mortem non fecit, nec lætátur in perditióne vivórum; creávit enim, ut essent ómnia. Iustítia enim est immortális.
God did not make death, and he doth not rejoice in the loss of the living. He created all things for life; the creatures of the world are salutary. For justice is immortal.
