19 LIBER SAPIENTIAE SOLOMONIS Wisdom - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Wisdom - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
1Impiis autem usque in novissimum
sine misericordia ira supervenit.
Præsciebat enim et futura illorum:
 Suicidal stupidity of the Egyptians. Wis.19.1-5
2quoniam cum ipsi permisissent ut se educerent,
et cum magna sollicitudine præmisissent illos,
consequebantur illos, pœnitentia acti.
  
3Adhuc enim inter manus habentes luctum,
et deplorantes ad monumenta mortuorum,
aliam sibi assumpserunt cogitationem inscientiæ,
et quos rogantes projecerant,
hos tamquam fugitivos persequebantur.
  
4Ducebat enim illos ad hunc finem digna necessitas;
et horum quæ acciderant commemorationem amittebant,
ut quæ deerant tormentis repleret punitio:
  
5et populus quidem tuus mirabiliter transiret,
illi autem novam mortem invenirent.
  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
