Wisdom of Solomon 18:4

not in this edition
Brenton 1851
For they were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world.
Greek · Brenton
Ἄξιοι μὲν γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι στερηθῆναι φωτὸς, καὶ φυλακισθῆναι ἐν σκότει, οἱ κατακλείστους φυλάξαντες τοὺς υἱούς σου, διʼ ὧν ἤμελλε τὸ ἄφθαρτον νόμου φῶς τῷ αἰῶνι δίδοσθαι.
