Wisdom 2:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Let’s condemn him to a disgraceful death: according to him, God should show up to protect him.

²¹ This was how the ungodly reasoned, but they were mistaken. Their malice completely blinded them. ²² They didn’t know of God’s secret plan. They didn’t hope for the reward that holiness brings. They didn’t consider the prize they would win if they kept their whole beings free from stain.
