Wisdom of Solomon 17:17 Context
15Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a suddaine feare and not looked for, came vpon them. 16So then, whosoeuer there fell downe, was straitly kept, shut vp in a prison without yron barres. 17For whether hee were husbandman, or shepheard, or a labourer in the field, he was ouertaken, and endured that necessitie, which could not be auoided: for they were all bound with one chaine of darkenesse. 18Whether it were a whistling winde, or a melodious noise of birdes among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water running violently: 19Or a terrible sound of stones cast downe, or a running that could not be seene of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most sauage wilde beasts, or a rebounding Eccho from the hollow mountaines: these things made them to swoone for feare.
