12 Righteous people are nothing but a nuisance, so let's look for chances to get rid of them. They are against what we do; they accuse us of breaking the Law of Moses and violating the traditions of our ancestors.

Wisdom 2:12 In-Context

10 "We'll oppress the poor, even if they are righteous. We'll show no respect for widows or old people.

11 We'll call ourselves right if we are strong enough to get what we want. No one ever got anywhere by being weak!

12 Righteous people are nothing but a nuisance, so let's look for chances to get rid of them. They are against what we do; they accuse us of breaking the Law of Moses and violating the traditions of our ancestors.

13 They claim to know God, and they call themselves the Lord's children.

14 We can't stand the sight of people like that; what they are contradicts our whole way of thinking.
