Wis 12:4
King James Version
“Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;”
Context
1For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.
2Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord.
3For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,
4Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;
5And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man’s flesh, and the feasts of blood,
6With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help:
7That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God’s children.
