Wisdom 18:19DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 19 of 25
"For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish and not know why they suffered these evils."
In context
17Then suddenly visions of evil dreams troubled them, and fears unlooked for came upon them.
18And one thrown here, another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.
19For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish and not know why they suffered these evils.
20But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue.
21For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant.
