Wisdom 10:8

8 For regarding not wisdom, they got not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good, but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness, so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

Wisdom 10:8 In-Context

6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.
7 Of such wickedness, even to this day, the wasteland that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness; and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.
8 For regarding not wisdom, they got not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good, but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness, so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.
9 But wisdom delivered from pain those who attended upon her.
10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, she guided him in right paths, showed him the Kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travails, and multiplied the fruit of his labors.
