Wisdom 10:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.

⁸ For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.

⁹ But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.
