We find this title twice in the book of Wisdom. Both instances draw on traditions from the Bible, primarily Exodus, and update them in line with other Jewish traditions or the philosophical context surrounding them. The core message remains the same: what served as punishment for the wicked was salvation for the righteous. Both personal and community histories serve as reasons for believers to encounter God. If at other times God revealed himself as a being who punished evil, today he manifests himself to us as one full of mercy.
