Wisdom of Solomon 5:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated 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,(A)
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;(B)
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.(C)
