Wisdom 12:21

how much more care would you exercise in judging your children, to whose fathers you had given such rich promises by means of solemn pledges and covenants?
With what circumspection hast thou judged thy own children, to whose parents thou hast sworn and made covenants of good promises?
But you judged your own people very strictly, even though you had made covenants with their ancestors and had solemnly promised to give them good things.
With what exactitude you judged your children, to whose ancestors you gave the sworn covenants of goodly promises!
with what attentiveness have you judged your children to whose ancestors you made such wonderful promises through oaths and covenants!
with what strictness you have judged your children, to whose ancestors you gave oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with what strictness you have judged your children, to whose ancestors you gave oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with what strictness you have judged your children, to whose ancestors you gave oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with what strictness you have judged your children, to whose ancestors you gave oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with what strictness thou hast judged thy sons, to whose fathers thou gavest oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with what strictness thou hast judged thy sons, to whose fathers thou gavest oaths and covenants full of good promises!
with how great diligence deemest thou thy sons, to whose fathers thou gavest oaths and covenants of good promises?
