Wisdom 17:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.

⁴ For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them.

⁵ And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.
