Wisdom 2:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them.

²² And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.

²³ For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him.
