Wisdom 17:11LXX

9For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear: and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided.

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.
