Wisdom 18:15-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Your all-powerful word from heaven’s royal throne
leapt into the doomed land,(A)
16 a fierce warrior bearing the sharp sword of your inexorable decree,
And alighted, and filled every place with death,
and touched heaven, while standing upon the earth.(B)
