Wisdom 17:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.

⁶ But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse:

⁷ And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked.
