Wisdom 19:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 For those others[a] did not receive unfamiliar visitors,(A)
but these were enslaving beneficent guests.
15 And not that only; but what punishment was to be theirs[b]
since they received strangers unwillingly!
16 Yet these,[c] after welcoming them with festivities,
oppressed with awful toils
those who had shared with them the same rights.(B)
