Wisdom of Solomon 18:11
“It commemorates what the Book of Exodus recounts about the killing of the firstborn, when the Lord struck in the middle of the night every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive woman who was in the prison, and every firstborn of the animals…”
11The master and the servant were punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common person.

9For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.

— Wisdom of Solomon 18:11 —
12So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.
13For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.
