Wisdom of Solomon 17:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² For fear is nothing but a giving up of the helps that come from reason,
¹³ and hope, being weaker, prefers ignorance of what causes the torment.
¹⁴ But throughout the night, which was really powerless
and which came upon them from the recesses of powerless Hades,
they all slept the same sleep^(A)
