Wisdom 17:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Terror Strikes the Egyptians at Night
17 Great are your judgments and hard to describe;
therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
2 For when lawless people supposed that they held the holy nation in their power,
they themselves lay as captives of darkness and prisoners of long night,
shut in under their roofs, exiles from eternal providence.
3 For thinking that in their secret sins they were unobserved
behind a dark curtain of forgetfulness,
they were scattered, terribly[a] alarmed,
and appalled by specters.
Footnotes
- Wisdom 17:3 Other ancient authorities read unobserved, they were darkened behind a dark curtain of forgetfulness, terribly
