Wisdom of Solomon 18:17

Wisdom of Solomon 18:17 Context

¹⁴For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course, ¹⁵Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction, ¹⁶And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth. ¹⁷Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for. ¹⁸And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death. ¹⁹For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted. ²⁰Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.
