Wisdom of Solomon 17:5 Context
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. 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.
