Wisdom 12:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ But executing thy judgments by degrees thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed.

¹¹ For it was a cursed seed from the beginning: neither didst thou for fear of any one give pardon to their sins.

¹² For who shall say to thee: What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall come before thee to be a revenger of wicked men? or who shall accuse thee, if the nations perish, which thou hast made?
