Wisdom 17:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ and now were driven by monstrous spectres,
and now were paralysed by their souls’ surrender;
for sudden and unexpected fear overwhelmed them.
¹⁶ And whoever was there fell down,
and thus was kept shut up in a prison not made of iron;
¹⁷ for whether they were farmers or shepherds
or workers who toiled in the wilderness,
they were seized, and endured the inescapable fate;
for with one chain of darkness they all were bound.
