Wisdom 2:12; Wisdom 2:17-20

Wisdom 2:12

12 Let's lie in ambush for the one who does what is right. He's a nuisance to us. He always opposes our actions. He blames us because we have failed to keep the Law. He condemns us for turning our backs on our upbringing.

Wisdom 2:17-20

17 Let's see if his words are true. Let's put him to the extreme test and see what happens.

18 If this man who does the right thing is indeed God's Son, then God will assist him. God will rescue him from the hand of those who oppress him.

19 Let's test him by assaulting and torturing him. Then we will know just how good he really is. Let's test his ability to endure pain.

20 Let's condemn him to a disgraceful death: according to him, God should show up to protect him.
