Wisdom 11:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ and showedest by the thirst, that was then, how thou wouldest enhance thy servants, and wouldest slay the adversaries of them.

⁹ For when they were assayed, soothly they took chastising with mercy; they knew, how wicked men deemed with ire, should suffer torments. [When forsooth they were tempted, forsooth and with mercy discipline they took; they knew, how with wrath the unpious men deemed, torments should suffer.]

¹⁰ Soothly thou admonishing as a father, provedest these men; but thou as an hard king asking condemnedest them (or the others). [These forsooth as a father warned, thou provedest; them forsooth as an hard king asking, thou condemnedest.]
