Wisdom of Solomon 2:17

Wisdom of Solomon 2:17 Context

¹⁴He was made to reprove our thoughts. ¹⁵He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. ¹⁶We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. ¹⁷Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. ¹⁸For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. ¹⁹Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. ²⁰Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.
