Wisdom 16:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ Forsooth in this thou showedest to our enemies, that thou it art, that deliverest from all evil. [In that forsooth thou showedest to our enemies, for thou art, that deliverest from all evil.]

⁹ Forsooth the bitings of locusts and of flies killed them, and health of (or for) their life was not found; for they were worthy to be destroyed of (or by) such things. [Them forsooth the bitings of flies and of locusts slew, and there is not found health to the soul of them; for worthy they were of such things to be destroyed.]

¹⁰ But neither the teeth of dragons, neither of venomous beasts overcame thy children; for why thy mercy came, and healed them. [Thy sons forsooth, neither the teeth of dragons, nor of venomous things over-came; forsooth thy mercy coming to, healed them.]
