Wisdom 5:3 Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach.

Within. Or among themselves. --- Repenting. In despair. --- Reproach. We diverted ourselves with turning them to ridicule. (Calmet) --- This change of sentiment (Haydock) proceeds not from the love of virtue, and is useless. (Worthington)
