Wisdom 2:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Let’s take advantage of the day laborer who does what’s right. Let’s not be afraid to abuse the widow. Let’s show that we couldn’t care less for the gray hair of our elders. ¹¹ May strength be our only law and determine what’s right, for it’s clear to us that what is weak is worthless.

¹² Let’s lie in ambush for the one who does what is right. He’s a nuisance to us. He always opposes our actions. He blames us because we have failed to keep the Law. He condemns us for turning our backs on our upbringing.
