Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 5:13

οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς γεννηθέντες ἐξελίπομεν καὶ ἀρετῆς μὲν σημεῖον οὐδὲν ἔσχομεν δεῖξαι, ἐν δὲ τῇ κακίᾳ ἡμῶν κατεδαπανήθημεν.
King James Version (KJV)

Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to shew; but were consumed in our own wickedness.

Modern English

So it was with us: no sooner were we born than we began heading toward our end, with nothing good to show, and we wasted away in our own wickedness.
