Wisdom of Solomon 12:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ For they went far astray on the paths of error,
accepting as gods those animals that even their enemies^[a] despised;
they were deceived like foolish infants.^(A)
25 Therefore, as though to children who cannot reason,
you sent your judgment to mock them.
²⁶ But those who have not heeded the warning of mild rebukes
will experience the deserved judgment of God.
