Wisdom 19:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Yet these,[a] after welcoming them with festivities,
oppressed with awful toils
those who had shared with them the same rights.(A)
17 And they were struck with blindness,[b]
as those others had been at the doors of the righteous man—
When, surrounded by yawning darkness,
each sought the entrance of his own door.(B)
18 For the elements, in ever-changing harmony,
like strings of the harp, produce new melody,
while the flow of music steadily persists.
And this can be perceived exactly from a review of what took place.
