Wisdom 12:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 For they went far astray in the paths of error,
taking for gods the worthless and disgusting among beasts,
being deceived like senseless infants.(A)
25 Therefore as though upon unreasoning children,
you sent your judgment on them as a mockery;(B)
26 But they who took no heed of a punishment which was but child’s play
were to experience a condemnation worthy of God.
