Wisdom 16:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received:

¹⁵ But it is impossible to escape thy hand.

¹⁶ For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire.
