Wisdom 12:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ You were judging them little by little to give them an opportunity to change their hearts and minds. You did so even though you knew full well that they were wicked from their birth, that their natural inclination was to evil, and that they would never change their minds. ¹¹ Their genetic character^[a] was cursed from the start. You didn’t grant them immunity for their sins out of concern for anyone’s opinion.

¹² After all, who will question what you have done? Who will oppose your decision? Who will accuse you of destroying peoples that you yourself created? Who will come and stand before you as the champion of those who have done wrong?
