Wisdom 19:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. For, to console their loss, the quail came up to them from the sea, and yet troubles overcame the sinners, though they were not without the evidence of what had happened before by the power of lightning, for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness.

13. And indeed, they set up a more detestable inhospitality. Certainly, some have refused to receive unknown foreigners, but these others were drafting good guests into servitude,

14. and not only foreigners, but also those who had been under their care, because they were reluctantly sheltering the outsiders.

15. Yet whoever had sheltered them with gladness, by making use of the very same justice, they afflicted with the most severe sorrow.
