Wisdom 5:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim,
and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
²² and hailstones full of wrath will be hurled as from a catapult;
the water of the sea will rage against them,
and rivers will relentlessly overwhelm them;
²³ a mighty wind will rise against them,
and like a tempest it will winnow them away.
Lawlessness will lay waste the whole earth,
and evildoing will overturn the thrones of rulers.
