Wisdom 16:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ But it is impossible to escape thy hand.

¹⁶ For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire.

¹⁷ And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just.
