Wisdom 11:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 for a twofold grief seized them,
and a groaning over the remembrances of the past.
13 When they heard that through their punishment the righteous had received benefits,
they perceived the presence of the Lord.[a]
14 For the one whom long before they had cast out, exposed, and rejected[b] with scorn,
they regarded with admiration at the end of the events,
when they experienced thirst vastly different from that of the righteous.
