Wisdom 18:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage.

⁷ So thy people received the salvation of the just, and destruction of the unjust.

⁸ For as thou didst punish the adversaries: so thou didst also encourage and glorify us.
