Wisdom 17:6-8
Wycliffe Bible

[Forsooth there appeared to them sudden fire, full of dread; and smitten with the dread of that face, that was not seen, they esteemed or estimated worse to be, that were seen.]
7 And (the) scorns of witchcraft were laid to (it), and the glory of wisdom was chastising with despising. [And of divining craft the scorns were laid to (it), and the glory of wisdom correction with strife.]
8 For they, that promised themselves to put away dreads and disturbings [or perturbations] from a sick soul, were full with scorn, and were sick for dread.
