Wisdom 18:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 That night was known beforehand to our ancestors,
so that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith, they might have courage.(A)
7 The expectation of your people
was the salvation of the righteous and the destruction of their foes.(B)
8 For by the same means with which you punished our adversaries,
you glorified us whom you had summoned.(C)
