Wisdom 5:6

6 So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.

Wisdom 5:6 In-Context

4 "This is the man whom we once held in derision and made a byword of reproach -- we fools! We thought that his life was madness and that his end was without honor.

5 Why has he been numbered among the sons of God? And why is his lot among the saints?

6 So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.

7 We took our fill of the paths of lawlessness and destruction, and we journeyed through trackless deserts, but the way of the Lord we have not known.

8 What has our arrogance profited us? And what good has our boasted wealth brought us?
