Wisdom 16:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil.

⁹ For the bitings of locusts, and of flies killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things.

¹⁰ But not even the teeth of venomous serpents overcame thy children: for thy mercy came and healed them.
