Wisdom 18:7

7 So by Thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.

Wisdom 18:7 In-Context

5 And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth and saved, to reprove them Thou took away the multitude of their children, and destroyed them altogether in a mighty water.

6 Of that night our fathers were certified beforehand so that, assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.

7 So by Thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.

8 For with what Thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same Thou didst glorify us, whom Thou had called.

9 For the righteous children of good men offered sacrifice secretly, and with one accord made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.
