Wisdom 12:21-23

Wycliffe Bible

²¹ with how great diligence deemest thou thy sons, to whose fathers thou gavest oaths and covenants of good promises?

²² Therefore when thou givest chastising [or discipline] to us, thou beatest [or thou scourgest] many-fold our enemies, (so) that we, (when) deeming, think (of) thy goodness; and when it is deemed of us, that we hope (for) thy mercy.

²³ Wherefore and to them, that lived unwisely, and unjustly in their life, thou gavest sovereign torments, by these things which they worshipped. [Wherefore and to them, that in their life unwisely and unrightfully lived, by those things, that they praised, that gave greatest torments.]
