Wisdom of Solomon 17:3 Context
1For great are thy Iudgements, and cannot be expressed: therefore vnnourtured soules haue erred. 2For when vnrighteous men thought to oppresse the holy nation: they being shut vp in their houses, the prisoners of darkenesse, and fettered with the bondes of a long night, lay [there] exiled from the eternall prouidence. 3For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sinnes, they were scattered vnder a darke vaile of forgetfulnesse, being horribly astonished, and troubled with (strange) apparitions. 4For neither might the corner that helde them keepe them from feare: but noises (as of waters) falling downe, sounded about them, and sadde visions appeared vnto them with heauie countenances. 5No power of the fire might giue them light: neither could the bright flames of the starres endure to lighten that horrible night.
