Wisdom of Solomon 12:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 their merciless slaughter[a] of children,
and their sacrificial feasting on human flesh and blood.
These initiates from the midst of a bloody revelry,[b](A)
6 these parents who murder helpless lives,
you willed to destroy by the hands of our ancestors,(B)
7 so that the land most precious of all to you
might receive a worthy colony of the children of God.(C)
