Wisdom 11:20DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 20 of 27

"Whereof not only the hurt might be able to destroy them, but also the very sight might kill them through fear."
Wisdom 11:20

In context

18For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions,

19Or unknown beasts of a new kind, full of rage: either breathing out a fiery vapour, or sending forth a stinking smoke, or shooting horrible sparks out of their eyes:

20Whereof not only the hurt might be able to destroy them, but also the very sight might kill them through fear.

21Yea and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight.

22For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm?
