Wisdom 2:9-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. Let no meadow be free from our wantonness;everywhere let us leave tokens of our merriment,for this is our portion, and this our lot.

10. Let us oppress the righteous poor;let us neither spare the widownor revere the aged for hair grown white with time.

11. But let our strength be our norm of righteousness;for weakness proves itself useless.
