Wisdom of Solomon 19:15
King James VersionSource notes
“And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:”
Context
12For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.
13And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.
14For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.
15And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:
16But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.
17Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.
18For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.
