Wisdom 18:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers.

¹⁰ But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed.

¹¹ And the servant suffered the same punishment as the master, and a common man suffered in like manner as the king.
