Wisdom 12:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
20 For if you punished with such great care and indulgence[a]
the enemies of your servants[b] and those deserving of death,
granting them time and opportunity to give up their wickedness,
21 with what strictness you have judged your children,
to whose ancestors you gave oaths and covenants full of good promises!
22 So while chastening us you scourge our enemies ten thousand times more,
so that, when we judge, we may meditate upon your goodness,
and when we are judged, we may expect mercy.
