Wisdom 2:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us everywhere leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot.

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

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