Wisdom 18:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ For by the same means by which thou didst punish our enemies
thou didst call us to thyself and glorify us.
⁹ For in secret the holy children of good men offered sacrifices,
and with one accord agreed to the divine law,
that the saints would share alike the same things,
both blessings and dangers;
and already they were singing the praises of the fathers.^[a]
10 But the discordant cry of their enemies echoed back,
and their piteous lament for their children was spread abroad.
