Wisdom 19:13DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 13 of 20

"For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them."
Wisdom 19:13

In context

11And at length they saw a new generation of birds, when being led by their appetite they asked for delicate meats.

12For to satisfy their desire, the quail came up to them from the sea: and punishments came upon the sinners, not without foregoing signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness.

13For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them.

14And not only so, but in another respect also they were worse: for the others against their will received the strangers.

15But these grievously afflicted them whom they had received with joy, and who lived under the same laws.
