Wisdom 16:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ But soothly a man slayeth his soul by malice; and when the spirit is gone out, it shall not (re)turn again, neither the body shall again-call the soul, which is received; [A man forsooth slayeth by malice his soul; and when the spirit goeth out, he shall not turn again, nor the soul, that is received, shall again-call;]

¹⁵ but it is impossible to escape thine hand.

¹⁶ For why wicked men, denying to know thee, were tormented by the strength of thine arm; they suffered persecution by new waters, and hails, and rains, and were wasted by fire. [Unpious men forsooth, denying to have known thee, by the strength of thine arm be scourged; with new waters, and hails, and rains, they suffered persecution, and by fire be wasted.]
