Wisdom 11:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² Their sorrow was doubled; they groaned as they looked back on what had happened. ¹³ When they learned that their punishment had been of benefit to your people, they realized that it was your work, Lord. ¹⁴ The Egyptians had refused to have anything to do with that man who, long before as a baby, had been thrown out and exposed; but as things worked out, they came to be amazed at him. The righteous never suffered a thirst like theirs.
