Wisdom 5:6
Print
Clearly we were the ones who missed the way to truth. The light that would have shown us the right thing to do hasn’t shone for us. That sun didn’t rise upon us.
Therefore we have erred from the way of truth, and the light of justice hath not shined unto us, and the sun of understanding hath not risen upon us.
We were the ones who wandered off the right road. We never lived in the light of righteousness; we never caught the first glimmer of its light.
We, then, have strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine for us, and the sun did not rise for us.
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.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
Therefore we erred from the way of truth, and the light of rightfulness [or of rightwiseness] shined not to us, and the sun of understanding rose not up to (or on) us.
