Wisdom 19:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ They were stricken also with loss of sight—
just as were those at the door of the righteous man—
when, surrounded by yawning darkness,
each tried to find the way through his own door.

¹⁸ For the elements changed^[a] places with one another,
as on a harp the notes vary the nature of the rhythm,
while each note remains the same.^[b]
This may be clearly inferred from the sight of what took place.
¹⁹ For land animals were transformed into water creatures,
and creatures that swim moved over to the land.
