Wisdom of Solomon 17:6 Context
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. 6Onely there appeared vnto them a fire kindled of it selfe, very dreadfull: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse then the sight they saw not. 7As for the illusions of arte Magicke, they were put downe, and their vaunting in wisedome was reprooued with disgrace. 8For they that promised to driue away terrours, and troubles from a sicke soule, were sicke themselues of feare worthy to be laughed at.
