Wisdom 5:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ Why has he been numbered among the sons of God?
And why is his lot among the saints?
⁶ So it was we who strayed from the way of truth,
and the light of righteousness did not shine on us,
and the sun did not rise upon us.
⁷ We took our fill of the paths of lawlessness and destruction,
and we journeyed through trackless deserts,
but the way of the Lord we have not known.
