Wisdom 17:3-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 For they, who supposed their secret sins were hid(A)
under the dark veil of oblivion,
Were scattered in fearful trembling,
terrified by apparitions.
4 For not even their inner chambers kept them unafraid,
for crashing sounds on all sides terrified them,
and mute phantoms with somber looks appeared.
