Wisdom 18:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ That night was made known beforehand to our ancestors,
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 your people.
⁸ For by the same means by which you punished our enemies
you called us to yourself and glorified us.
