Wisdom 14:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Then it was not enough for them to err in their knowledge of God;(A)
but even though they live in a great war resulting from ignorance,
they call such evils peace.(B)
23 For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries,
or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,(C)
24 They no longer respect either lives or purity of marriage;
but they either waylay and kill each other, or aggrieve each other by adultery.
