Wisdom 17:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Nothing was shining through to them
except a dreadful, self-kindled fire,
and in terror they deemed the things that they saw
to be worse than that unseen appearance.
⁷ The delusions of their magic art lay humbled,
and their boasted wisdom was scornfully rebuked.
⁸ For those who promised to drive off the fears and disorders of a sick soul
were sick themselves with ridiculous fear.
