Wisdom 16:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For the bitings of locusts, and of flies killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things.

¹⁰ But not even the teeth of venomous serpents overcame thy children: for thy mercy came and healed them.

¹¹ For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help.
