Wisdom 12:23-25

Revised Standard Version

²³ Therefore those who in folly of life lived unrighteously
thou didst torment through their own abominations.
²⁴ For they went far astray on the paths of error,
accepting as gods those animals which even their enemies^[a] despised;
they were deceived like foolish babes.
²⁵ Therefore, as to thoughtless children,
thou didst send thy judgment to mock them.
