Wisdom 5:21
Shafts of lightning will strike with precision. They will leap from the clouds as if shot from a well-bent bow, and they will hit their target every time.
And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise.
Bolts of lightning will strike right on target, as if the Lord had made a bow out of the clouds and was shooting arrows.
Well-aimed bolts of lightning will go forth and from the clouds will leap to the mark as from a well-drawn bow;
Shafts of his lightning, accurately aimed, will fly forth, hurtling from the clouds as from a well-drawn bow toward their target,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap to the target as from a well-drawn bow of clouds,
Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap to the target as from a well-drawn bow of clouds,
Straight sendings-out of lightnings shall go, and as the sides of a rainbow, when the bow of clouds is crooked, they shall be destroyed; and they shall skip into a certain place. [The sendings-out of lightnings shall go even right, and as at the teasing the bow of clouds bent, they shall be out-lawed; and to a certain place they shall leap in.]
