Wisdom 2:12

In context

10Let us oppress the poor just man, and not spare the widow, nor honour the ancient grey hairs of the aged.

11But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth.

12Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.

13He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God.

14He is become a censurer of our thoughts.
