Wisdom 16:1-2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 16
1 Therefore they[a] were fittingly punished by similar creatures,
and were tormented by a swarm of insects.(A)
2 Instead of this punishment, you benefited your people
with a novel dish, the delight they craved,
by providing quail for their food,(B)
