Great are the works of the Lord, precisely wrought for all his wishes (Psalm 111:2).

He foresees those who are going to be good and creates them; he foresees those who are going to be bad and creates them, bestowing himself on the good to be enjoyed by them, lavishing much of his bounty also on the bad, pardoning with mercy, taking vengeance with justice—and again taking vengeance with mercy, pardoning with justice; having nothing to fear from anyone’s malice, nothing he needs from anyone’s justice; not serving his own interests even with the works of the good, and serving the interests of the good even with the works of the bad.​

Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis
