Wisdom 19:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ For whilst they were yet mourning, and lamenting at the graves of the dead, they took up another foolish device: and pursued them as fugitives whom they had pressed to be gone:

⁴ For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments:

⁵ And that thy people might wonderfully pass through, but they might find a new death.
