Wisdom 18:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ For as thou didst punish the adversaries: so thou didst also encourage and glorify us.

⁹ For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers.

¹⁰ But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed.
