Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 19:3

ἔτι γὰρ ἐν χερσὶν ἔχοντες τὰ πένθη καὶ προσοδυρόμενοι τάφοις νεκρῶν, ἕτερον ἐπεσπάσαντο λογισμὸν ἀνοίας καὶ οὓς ἱκετεύοντες ἐξέβαλον, τούτους ὡς φυγάδες ἐδίωκον.
King James Version (KJV)

For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

Modern English

For while they were still mourning and weeping at the graves of their dead, they hatched another foolish scheme, and pursued as fugitives those they had just begged to leave.
