Wisdom 17:5DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 5 of 20

"And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night."
Wisdom 17:5

In context

3And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.

4For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them.

5And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.

6But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse:

7And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked.
