Original Text: Versio Vulgata: Sapientia Salomonis 5:3b, 4a, 5a,c. Latin text Hi sunt quos habuimus aliquando in risu et in similitudine inproperii nos insensati vitam illorum aestimabamus insaniam quomodo conputati sunt inter filios Dei sors illorum est

Translation: The Douay-Rheims Bible, Book of Wisdom 5:3b, 4a, 5a,c. English translation These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. We fools esteemed their life madness, . Behold, how they are numbered among the children of God.
