Wisdom 18:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ For the holy children of good people were offering sacrifices in secret,
    and with one accord they agreed to keep the divine law,
so that your holy ones would share alike both blessings and dangers,
    after first chanting the praises of the ancestors.^[a]
10 In response came the dissonant cry of their enemies,
    and the piteous lamentation for their children spread abroad.
¹¹ The slave received the same punishment as the master,
    and now commoner and king had to endure identical sufferings.
