Wisdom 12:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ Wherefore thou hast also greatly tormented them who in their life have lived foolishly and unjustly, by the same things which they worshipped.

²⁴ For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding.

²⁵ Therefore thou hast sent a judgment upon them as senseless children to mock them.
