Wisdom 18 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1885, 1895(RV1895)

1But for kindly sun for their proud exile.

4For well did the Egyptians deserve to be deprived of light and the race of men.

5After to convict them of their sin,

By the same means, calling us unto thyself, thou didst glorify us.

9 of good men offered sacrifice in secret,

And with one consent they took upon themselves the covenant of the divine law,

That they would partake alike in the same good things and the same perils;

And a piteous voice of lamentation for children was borne abroad.

11 stroke nobler offspring was consumed.

13For while they were disbelieving all things the royal throne,

doomed land,

16Bearing befell the righteous also anger,

Not by strength of body, not by efficacy of weapons;

But by word did he subdue the minister of punishment,

cut off the way to the living.

24For upon his precious stones,

And thy majesty was upon the people feared;

For it was enough only ver. 20.to make trial of the wrath.
