Wisdom 2:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ He thinks we’re frauds. He avoids us and our actions as though we’re unclean. Instead, he blesses the final days of those who do what’s right. He even boasts that God is his Father.

¹⁷ Let’s see if his words are true. Let’s put him to the extreme test and see what happens. ¹⁸ If this man who does the right thing is indeed God’s son, then God will assist him. God will rescue him from the hand of those who oppress him.
