Translation: World English Bible — Catholic Edition

" For they were a cursed seed from the beginning. It wasn’t through fear of any that you left them unpunished for their sins. "

Wisdom 12:11

menu_book Verse in Context

9 Not that you were unable to subdue the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or by terrible beasts or by a stern word to make away with them at once,

10 but judging them little by little you gave them a chance to repent, not being ignorant that their nature by birth was evil, their wickedness inborn, and that their manner of thought would never be changed.

11 For they were a cursed seed from the beginning. It wasn’t through fear of any that you left them unpunished for their sins.

12 For who will say, “What have you done?” Or “Who will withstand your judgment?” Who will accuse you for the perishing of nations which you caused? Or who will come and stand before you as an avenger for unrighteous men?

13 For there isn’t any God beside you that cares for all, that you might show that you didn’t judge unrighteously.
