10. Let us oppress the poor righteous man by our might. Spare we not the widow, Nor reverence the old man’s grey hairs full of years.
11. Be our strength the rule of our justice, For weakness is approved to be unprofitable. 12. But us lie in wait for the righteous, for he serveth not our urn, And he is opposed to our doings ; Yea and reproacheth us with our breaches of the law, And denounceth to us our breaches of our discipline.
13. For he professeth to have knowledge of God, And calleth himself the Lord’s child.
I got to the verse and went, “Wait, what!? So now you’re just going to be an asshole? This is not at all Wisdom. Not at all. Why does Indulgence also mean you have to be an asshole? Who wrote this!?”
I would not call this passage at all “Wisdom.” But rather, the Enemy of Wisdom.
