Wisdom 16:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ By doing this, you also convinced our enemies that you are the one who rescues people from every evil. ⁹ Our enemies died from the bites of locusts and flies; no way was found to cure them, because they deserved to be punished by such creatures. ¹⁰ But even poisonous snakes could not overcome your people, because you had mercy, helped them, and cured them.
