Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 10:8

σοφίαν γὰρ παροδεύσαντες οὐ μόνον ἐβλάβησαν τοῦ μὴ γνῶναι τὰ καλά, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς ἀφροσύνης ἀπέλιπον τῷ βίῳ μνημόσυνον, ἵνα ἐν οἶς ἐσφάλησαν μηδὲ λαθεῖν δυνηθῶσι.
King James Version (KJV)

For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

Modern English

For by disregarding wisdom, they were not only harmed by their ignorance of what was good, but also left behind for the world a lasting monument to their folly, so that their offenses could never be concealed.
