That the same plague of thirst which had tortured themselves should be the source of Israel’s rejoicing! Then indeed they felt the Lord’s power, then indeed they wondered at the revenge time had brought; (Wisdom of Solomon 11, 14)
Why then, these silly children should have play-time penalties first; (Wisdom of Solomon 12, 25)
of those play-time penalties if they took no heed, then at last they should feel how a God can punish. (Wisdom of Solomon 12, 26)
Thus it is that a time of reckoning will come for these idols the Gentiles make; part of God’s creation though they be, he detests them, so have they entangled men’s souls, and laid a trap for fools. (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 11)
Here was some father, bowed with sorrow before his time, his child untimely lost; the likeness of those features once made, to mortal man (that was dead besides) he would pay divine honours, and with that, rites of initiation must become the tradition of his clan. (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 15)
As time went on, impious habit grew into impious custom. A king would have his own likeness adored, (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 16)
Fools all, and doomed to misery beyond the common doom of tyrants,✻ were the enemies that from time to time have lorded it over thy people. (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 14)

PREFACE: Many are the important truths conveyed to us by the law, by the prophets and by those other writers who have followed them. Israel must be given credit for its own philosophical tradition, suited not only to instruct those who talk its language, but to reach, in spoken or written form, the outside world too, and bring it great enlightenment. No wonder if my own grandfather, Jesus, who had devoted himself to the careful study of the law, the prophets, and our other ancestral records, had a mind to put something in writing himself that should bear on this philosophical tradition, to claim the attention of eager students who had already mastered it, and to encourage their observance of the law. I must beg its readers to come well-disposed to their task, and to follow me closely, making allowances for me wherever I seem to have failed in the right marshalling of words, as I pass on wisdom at second hand. Hebrew words lose their force when they are translated into another language; moreover, when the Hebrews read out the law, the prophets, and the other books among themselves, they read them out in a greatly different form. It was in my thirty-eighth year,✻ in the reign of Euergetes, that I went to Egypt and spent some time there. When I found writings preserved there which were of high doctrinal value, it seemed to me right and fitting that I, too, should be at some pains; I would set about translating this book. Learning I gave to the task and long labour, and so brought it to an end; and so I offer the book to all who are ready to apply their minds to it, and learn how a man must frame his conduct if he would live by the divine law.

All wisdom has one source; it dwelt with the Lord God before ever time began. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 1)
First she is of all created things; time never was when the riddle of thought went unread. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 4)
