Wisdom 18:2
They were grateful that your holy ones didn’t take advantage of them, even when they could have and even after they had been treated so badly. They asked forgiveness of your people for having been at odds.
And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference.
Those enemies could at least be thankful that the people they had wronged were not taking vengeance on them now, and so they begged them to leave.
And because they who formerly had been wronged did not harm them, they thanked them, and because of the difference between them, pleaded with them.
They were grateful that your holy ones had not done them any injury despite being previously wronged, and they asked forgiveness for having been their enemies.
and were thankful that your holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury; and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
and were thankful that your holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury; and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
and were thankful that your holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury; and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
and were thankful that your holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury, and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
and were thankful that thy holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury; and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
and were thankful that thy holy ones, though previously wronged, were doing them no injury; and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.
And for they were hurt before, they did thankings to thee, for they were not hurt; and that (a) difference should be betwixt them and (the) Egyptians, they asked thee, God. [And for before hurt they were, for they were not hurt, graces they did to thee; and that there were difference, thee, God, they asked.]
