Wisdom 12:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And those merciless murderers of their own children, and eaters of men's bowels, and devourers of blood from the midst of thy consecration,

⁶ And those parents sacrificing with their own hands helpless souls, it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our parents,

⁷ That the land which of all is most dear to thee might receive a worthy colony of the children of God.
