Wisdom of Solomon 17:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 And no power of fire was able to give light,
nor did the brilliant flames of the stars
avail to illumine that hateful night.(A)
6 Nothing was shining through to them
except a dreadful, self-kindled fire,
and in terror they deemed the things that they saw
to be worse than that unseen appearance.(B)
7 The delusions of their magic art lay humbled,
and their boasted wisdom was scornfully rebuked.(C)
