Wisdom of Solomon 18:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Light Shines on the Israelites
18 But for your holy ones there was very great light.
Their enemies[a] heard their voices but did not see their forms
and counted them happy for not having suffered(A)
2 and were thankful that your holy ones,[b] though previously wronged, were doing them no injury,
and they begged their pardon for having been at variance with them.[c](B)
3 Therefore you provided a flaming pillar of fire
as a guide for your people’s[d] unknown journey
and a harmless sun for their glorious wandering.(C)
