Wisdom 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ “This is the one whom we once mocked
    and made a target of our insults, fools that we were.
We regarded his way of life as madness
    and his end as dishonorable.
⁵ Why is he now reckoned among the children of God,
    sharing the lot of the saints?
⁶ Clearly we have been the ones who have strayed from the way of truth,
    and the light of justice has not shone for us
    or the sun risen upon us.
