Wisdom 16:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed with the bitings of crooked serpents.

⁶ But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.

⁷ For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee the Saviour of all.
