Wisdom 11:8

menu_book Verse in Context

6 When enemies were troubled with clotted blood instead of a river’s ever-flowing fountain,

7 to rebuke the decree for the slaying of babies, you gave them abundant water beyond all hope,

8 having shown by the thirst which they had suffered how you punished the adversaries.

9 For when they were tried, although chastened in mercy, they learned how the ungodly were tormented, being judged with wrath.

10 For you tested these as a father admonishing them; but you searched out those as a stern king condemning them.
