Wisdom 2:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ Let none of us fail to share in our revelry;
everywhere let us leave signs of enjoyment,
because this is our portion, and this our lot.
¹⁰ Let us oppress the righteous poor man;
let us not spare the widow
or regard the grey hairs of the aged.
¹¹ But let our might be our law of right,
for what is weak proves itself to be useless.
