Wisdom 16:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ In this way, you persuaded our enemies that you are the only one who rescues people from every evil. ⁹ Our enemies died when they were bitten by locusts and flies. There was no healing that was able to keep them alive. They deserved to be punished by those insects. ¹⁰ Yet not even the fangs of poisonous snakes were able to overcome your children, because your mercy traveled along with them and healed them.
