Wisdom 14:23
Then, in the celebration of secret religious ceremonies involving the ritual murder of children or in hidden mysteries or in the mad orgies of strange worship practices,
For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness,
They murdered children in their initiation rituals, celebrated secret mysteries, and held wild ceremonial orgies with unnatural practices.
For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries, or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,
They engage in the ritual murders of children and in occult rites, and they hold frenzied orgies replete with unnatural ceremonies.
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For whether they kill children in their initiations or celebrate secret mysteries or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs,
For either they slaying their sons in sacrifice, either making dark sacrifices, either having wakings full of madness, [Or forsooth their sons sacrificing, or dark sacrifices making, or having full watches of madness,]
