Wisdom 17:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³ and the inner expectation of help, being weak,
prefers ignorance of what causes the torment.
¹⁴ But throughout the night, which was really powerless,
and which beset them from the recesses of powerless Hades,
they all slept the same sleep,
¹⁵ and now were driven by monstrous specters,
and now were paralyzed by their souls’ surrender,
for sudden and unexpected fear overwhelmed them.
