Wisdom 5:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Well-aimed bolts of lightning will go forth
and from the clouds will leap to the mark as from a well-drawn bow;(A)
22 and as from a sling, wrathful hailstones shall be hurled.
The waters of the sea will be enraged
and flooding rivers will overwhelm them;(B)
23 A mighty wind will confront them
and winnow them like a tempest;
Thus lawlessness will lay waste the whole earth
and evildoing overturn the thrones of the mighty.(C)
