Wisdom of Solomon 18:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Death of the Egyptian Firstborn
5 When they had resolved to kill the infants of your holy ones,
and one child had been abandoned and rescued,
you in punishment took away a multitude of their children,
and you destroyed them all together by a mighty flood.(A)
6 That night was made known beforehand to our ancestors
so that they might rejoice in sure knowledge of the oaths in which they trusted.(B)
7 The deliverance of the righteous and the destruction of their enemies
were expected by your people.(C)
