Wisdom 11:9 In-Context

9 When they were being tested, even though it was a merciful discipline, they learned how wicked people were tortured when you judged them in anger.

10 You tested your people, as parents test their children, to warn them. But you judged their enemies like a stern king and condemned them.

11 They suffered, whether they were near your people or far from them.
