Wisdom 18:7LXX

5And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them all together in a mighty water.

6For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage.

7So thy people received the salvation of the just, and destruction of the unjust.

8For as thou didst punish the adversaries: so thou didst also encourage and glorify us.

9For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers.
