Wisdom 18:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ The short night was half over, and all was quiet and peaceful, ¹⁵ when suddenly your threats were carried out! An invincible word of judgment sped from your royal throne in heaven, straight down to that doomed land. It came like a soldier in fierce attack, ¹⁶ carrying out your firm command with a fearful weapon, standing with feet on the ground and head touching the sky, filling the land with death.
