Wisdom 17:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ And so, whoever was there fell down
    and was confined in a prison that lacked bars.
¹⁷ For whether he was a farmer or a shepherd
    or a laborer toiling in the wilderness,
he was overtaken to suffer the inescapable fate,
^{18     [a]}for a single chain of darkness bound all.
And whether it was merely the whistling wind,
    or the melodious sound of birds in the spreading branches,
or the steady rhythm of rushing water,
