Wisdom 18:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ For when the corpses were already piled up in heaps,
    he intervened and held back the wrath
    and cut off its way to the living.
²⁴ For the entire world was depicted on his full-length robe,^[a]
    and the glorious names of our ancestors were carved on the four rows of stones,
    and your majesty was seen on the diadem upon his head.
²⁵ To these the destroyer yielded, for these he feared;
    a mere sampling of wrath was sufficient.
