Wisdom 12:26-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 But they who took no heed of a punishment which was but child’s play
were to experience a condemnation worthy of God.
27 For by the things through which they suffered distress,
being tortured by the very things they deemed gods,
They saw and recognized the true God whom formerly they had refused to know;
with this, their final condemnation[a] came upon them.(A)
