Wisdom 18:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference.

³ Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment.

⁴ The others indeed were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned in darkness, who kept thy children shut up, by whom the pure light of the law was to be given to the world.
