Wisdom 16:9-11

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ Forsooth the bitings of locusts and of flies killed them, and health of (or for) their life was not found; for they were worthy to be destroyed of (or by) such things. [Them forsooth the bitings of flies and of locusts slew, and there is not found health to the soul of them; for worthy they were of such things to be destroyed.]

¹⁰ But neither the teeth of dragons, neither of venomous beasts overcame thy children; for why thy mercy came, and healed them. [Thy sons forsooth, neither the teeth of dragons, nor of venomous things over-came; forsooth thy mercy coming to, healed them.]

¹¹ For they were tormented in mind of (or by) thy words, that is, that they should be mindful of thy behests, and they were healed swiftly; lest they falling into deep forgetting of God, (they) might not use thine help. [In the mind forsooth of thy words they were destroyed, and swiftly they were saved; lest into high forgetting falling, they might not use thine help.]
