Wisdom of Solomon 12:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 So while chastening us you scourge our enemies ten thousand times more,
so that when we judge we may meditate upon your goodness,
and when we are judged we may expect mercy.(A)
The Punishment of the Egyptians
23 Therefore those who lived unrighteously, in a life of folly,
you tormented through their own abominations.(B)
24 For they went far astray on the paths of error,
accepting as gods those animals that even their enemies[a] despised;
they were deceived like foolish infants.(C)
