Wisdom 11:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ showing by their thirst at that time
how you punished their enemies.
⁹ For when they were tried, though they were being disciplined in mercy,
they learned how the ungodly were tormented when judged in wrath.
¹⁰ For you tested them as a parent^[a] does in warning,
but you examined the ungodly^[b] as a stern king does in condemnation.
