Wisdom 17:20DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 20 of 20
"But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness."
In context
18Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear.
19For the whole world was enlightened with a clear light, and none were hindered in their labours.
20But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness.
