Wisdom 18:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

18 But thy saints had a very great light, and they heard their voice indeed, but did not see their shape. And because they also did not suffer the same things, they glorified thee:

² And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference.

³ Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment.
