Wisdom of Solomon 12:22

22 While therefore thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies ten thousand times more,

To the intent that we may ponder thy goodness when we judge,

And when we are judged may look for mercy.

Those who did not respond to lenient treatment received a heavier punishment.
