Wisdom 2:12-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.

¹³ He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God.

¹⁴ He is become a censurer of our thoughts.

¹⁵ He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different.

¹⁶ We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father.
