Wisdom 18:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ He carried with him your unchanging declaration like a sharp sword. He stood up and filled everything with death; he reached the sky while still standing on the ground. ¹⁷ Immediately the visions of their nightmares shook them. Unexpected fears assaulted them. ¹⁸ One here, then another there, fell to the ground half-dead. They shouted out to tell those around them why they were dying.
