Wisdom 11:10
You disciplined your people in the same way that parents warn their children, but you examined and passed sentence on the ungodly like a strict ruler.
For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath and tormented.
You tested your people, as parents test their children, to warn them. But you judged their enemies like a stern king and condemned them.
You tested your own people, admonishing them as a father; but as a stern king you probed and condemned the wicked.
You tested the former, admonishing them like a father, but the latter you sifted as a stern king does in condemnation.
For you tested them as a parent does in warning, but you examined the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
For you tested them as a parent does in warning, but you examined the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
For you tested them as a parent does in warning, but you examined the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
For you tested them as a parent does in warning, but you examined the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
For thou didst test them as a father does in warning, but thou didst examine the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
For thou didst test them as a father does in warning, but thou didst examine the ungodly as a stern king does in condemnation.
Soothly thou admonishing as a father, provedest these men; but thou as an hard king asking condemnedest them (or the others). [These forsooth as a father warned, thou provedest; them forsooth as an hard king asking, thou condemnedest.]
