Wisdom 17:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ And soothly no might of fire might give light to them, and the clear flames of stars might not lighten that hideous night. [And no strength forsooth of the fire might to them give light, nor the clear flames of the stars might lighten that grisly-ful night.]

⁶ Soothly sudden fire full of dread appeared to them; and they were smitten with the dread of that face, that was not seen, and guessed those things to be worse, that were seen. [Forsooth there appeared to them sudden fire, full of dread; and smitten with the dread of that face, that was not seen, they esteemed or estimated worse to be, that were seen.]

⁷ And (the) scorns of witchcraft were laid to (it), and the glory of wisdom was chastising with despising. [And of divining craft the scorns were laid to (it), and the glory of wisdom correction with strife.]
