Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 18:5

Βουλευσαμένους δ᾿ αὐτοὺς τὰ τῶν ὁσίων ἀποκτεῖναι νήπια καὶ ἑνὸς ἐκτεθέντος τέκνου καὶ σωθέντος, εἰς ἔλεγχον τὸ αὐτῶν ἀφείλω πλῆθος τέκνων καὶ ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἀπώλεσας ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ.
King James Version (KJV)

And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.

Modern English

And when they had resolved to kill the infants of the holy ones, and one child was cast out yet saved, as a rebuke to them you took away the multitude of their own children, and destroyed them altogether in the mighty waters.
