katapi HOME Wisdom of Solomon 19:1-5 - Suicidal stupidity of the Egyptians.  Wis.19.1-5
19 1 But the ungodly were assailed to the end by pitiless anger,
for God knew in advance even their future actions,
19 2 that, though they themselves had permitted your people to depart and hastily sent them forth,
they would change their minds and pursue them.
19 3 For while they were still busy at mourning,
and were lamenting at the graves of their dead,
they reached another foolish decision,
and pursued as fugitives those whom they had begged and compelled to depart.
19 4 For the fate they deserved drew them on to this end, and made them forget what had happened,
in order that they might fill up the punishment which their torments still lacked,
19 5 and that your people might experience an incredible journey,
but they themselves might meet a strange death.
