Wisdom 5:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Why is he now reckoned among the children of God,
    sharing the lot of the saints?
⁶ Clearly we have been the ones who have strayed from the way of truth,
    and the light of justice has not shone for us
    or the sun risen upon us.
⁷ We had our fill of traversing the paths of lawlessness and ruin
    and wandered across trackless deserts,
    but of the way of the Lord we have been ignorant.
