Wis 16:13

“For you are, O Lord. I said rightly that your word heals all things: for you are, O Lord, namely the Creator of all things, who have power over life and death, that is, of giving life and putting to death, according to that passage of 1 Kings 2: "The Lord kills and makes alive," etc.; likewise Ecclesiasticus 11: "Death and life are from God." But to the contrary: Because it is said above in chapter 1: "God did not make death." I respond: it must be said that although God is not the meritorious or efficient cause of death, nevertheless with respect to the privation itself he has power over death, because, although he is not the cause of evils, he nevertheless has power over evils, because from them he knows how to and is able to bring forth good. To that which is objected, that death is not from God: it must be said that in death there is a privation of life, which is nothing, and therefore does not have an efficient cause, but rather a deficient one: likewise, there is therein a penal affliction, which is something and is from God, who justly inflicts it upon sinners by the merit of their sins. And you lead down to the gates of death, that is, to the final extremity of life, and you lead back, namely by healing, as is evident in the case of Hezekiah, Isaiah 38.”
