Wisdom 16:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ To the end that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loathe even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat.

⁴ For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed.

⁵ For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed with the bitings of crooked serpents.
