Wisdom 17:12DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 20
"And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment."
In context
10For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.
11For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the succours from thought.
12And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.
13But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep.
14Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters, sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for fear was come upon them.
