19 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)

13The punishments did not come upon the sinners without prior signs in the violence of thunder,
for they justly suffered because of their wicked acts;
for they practiced a more bitter hatred of strangers.
Punishment of the Egyptians. Wis.19.13-17
14Others had refused to receive strangers when they came to them,
but these made slaves of guests who were their benefactors.
 
15And not only so, but punishment of some sort
will come upon the former for their hostile reception of the aliens;
 
16but the latter,
after receiving them with festal celebrations,
afflicted with terrible sufferings those who had already shared the same rights.
 
17They were stricken also with loss of sight -
just as were those at the door of the righteous man -
when, surrounded by yawning darkness,
each tried to find the way through his own door.
