Wisdom of Solomon 16:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 For it was necessary that upon those oppressors inescapable want should come,
while to these others it was merely shown how their enemies were being tormented.(A)
5 For when the terrible rage of wild animals came upon your people[a]
and they were being destroyed by the bites of writhing serpents,
your wrath did not continue to the end;(B)
6 they were troubled for a little while as a warning
and received a symbol of deliverance to remind them of your law’s command.(C)
