Wisdom of Solomon 12:7

Wisdom of Solomon 12:7 Context

⁴Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices; ⁵And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood, ⁶With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help: ⁷That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God's children. ⁸Nevertheless even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thine host, to destroy them by little and little. ⁹Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word: ¹⁰But executing thy judgments upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.
