Wisdom 18:13

13 Because of their misguided casting of spells and drug use, they didn't believe until it was too late. As a result, all their oldest males were destroyed. It was only then that they acknowledged your people to be your children.

Wisdom 18:13 In-Context

11 The same judgment fell on both slave and ruler. Both were punished together. The lowest person and the king suffered the same thing.
12 Countless bodies lay around, united together by a common name: death. There weren't even enough of the living left to bury the dead! In one fleeting moment, their most valued children were destroyed.
13 Because of their misguided casting of spells and drug use, they didn't believe until it was too late. As a result, all their oldest males were destroyed. It was only then that they acknowledged your people to be your children.
14 It was then, while everything was wrapped in a gentle silence, and half a night had already passed,
15 that your all-powerful word had leaped down from heaven, the royal throne. Like a fierce warrior, he had entered the land that was marked for destruction.
