Wisdom 18:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ When they had resolved to kill the babes of thy holy ones,
and one child had been exposed and rescued,
thou didst in punishment take away a multitude of their children;
and thou didst destroy them all together by a mighty flood.
⁶ That night was made known beforehand to our fathers,
so that they might rejoice in sure knowledge of the oaths in which they trusted.
⁷ The deliverance of the righteous and the destruction of their enemies
were expected by thy people.
