Wisdom 16:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ A man in his wickedness kills another,
but he cannot bring back the departed spirit,
nor set free the imprisoned soul.

¹⁵ To escape from thy hand is impossible;
¹⁶ for the ungodly, refusing to know thee,
were scourged by the strength of thy arm,
pursued by unusual rains and hail and relentless storms,
and utterly consumed by fire.
