Wisdom 5:7

7 All our lives we wandered across unmarked deserts, instead of following the road which the Lord wanted us to travel. And this lawlessness led us to ruin.

Wisdom 5:7 In-Context

5 And now here he is, one of God's own children, with a place of his own among God's people.

6 We were the ones who wandered off the right road. We never lived in the light of righteousness; we never caught the first glimmer of its light.

7 All our lives we wandered across unmarked deserts, instead of following the road which the Lord wanted us to travel. And this lawlessness led us to ruin.

8 We were so proud of ourselves - we bragged about how rich we were - and now, what good has it done us?

9 All those things are gone now; they have disappeared like a shadow, like something you hear and then forget.
