Wisdom 5:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had some time in derision, and for a parable of reproach.

⁴ We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour.

⁵ Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints.
