Wisdom 11:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ or newly created unknown beasts full of rage,
or such as breathe out fiery breath,
or belch forth a thick pall of smoke,
or flash terrible sparks from their eyes;
¹⁹ not only could their damage exterminate men,^[a]
but the mere sight of them could kill by fright.
²⁰ Even apart from these, men^[b] could fall at a single breath
when pursued by justice
and scattered by the breath of thy power.
But thou hast arranged all things by measure and number and weight.
