Wisdom of Solomon 17:10

Wisdom of Solomon 17:10 Context

⁷As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace. ⁸For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at. ⁹For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents, ¹⁰They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided. ¹¹For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things. ¹²For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth. ¹³And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.
