"For 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,"
Im Kontext
16But for the foolish devices of their iniquity, because some being deceived worshipped dumb serpents and worthless beasts, thou didst send upon them a multitude of dumb beasts for vengeance.
17That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented.
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.
