Wisdom 11:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For instead of a fountain of an ever running river, thou gavest human blood to the unjust.

⁸ And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for:

⁹ shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries.
