Wisdom 12:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ But judging them little by little thou gavest them a chance to repent,
though thou wast not unaware that their origin^[a] was evil
and their wickedness inborn,
and that their way of thinking would never change.
¹¹ For they were an accursed race from the beginning,
and it was not through fear of any one that thou didst leave them unpunished for their sins.

¹² For who will say, “What hast thou done?”
Or will resist thy judgment?
Who will accuse thee for the destruction of nations which thou didst make?
Or who will come before thee to plead as an advocate for unrighteous men?
