Wisdom of Solomon 12:23 Context
21With how great circumspection diddest thou iudge thine owne sonnes, vnto whose fathers thou hast sworne, and made couenants of good promises? 22Therefore whereas thou doest chasten vs, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that when wee iudge, wee should carefully thinke of thy goodnesse, and when we our selues are iudged, wee should looke for mercy. 23Wherefore, whereas men haue liued dissolutely and vnrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their owne abominations. 24For they went astray very farre in the wayes of errour, & held them for gods (which euen amongst the beasts of their enemies were despised) being deceiued as children of no vnderstanding. 25Therefore vnto them, as to children without the vse of reason, thou didst send a iudgement to mocke them.
