Wisdom 18:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ You had already alerted our fathers to that night well in advance. You did so in order that our fathers might rejoice and put their whole trust in the promises they had been given. ⁷ Your people fully expected that those who always do what is right would be delivered, while their enemies would be destroyed. ⁸ In the same way that you punished those who opposed your people, in just this way you called your people out of that land and gave them great honor.
