Wisdom 12:26DRA

24For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding.

25Therefore thou hast sent a judgment upon them as senseless children to mock them.

26But they that were not amended by mockeries and reprehensions, experienced the worthy judgment of God.

27For seeing with indignation that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them.
