Wisdom 5:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Therefore we have erred from the way of truth, and the light of justice hath not shined unto us, and the sun of understanding hath not risen upon us.

⁷ We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and destruction, and have walked through hard ways, but the way of the Lord we have not known.

⁸ What hath pride profited us? or what advantage hath the boasting of riches brought us?
