Wisdom 5:19–23
19He will take holiness as an invincible shield.↗
20He will sharpen stern wrath for a sword. The universe will go with him to fight against his frenzied foes.↗
21Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim. They will leap to the mark from the clouds, as from a well-drawn bow.↗
22Hailstones full of wrath will be hurled as from a catapult. The water of the sea will be angered against them. Rivers will sternly overwhelm them.↗
23A mighty wind will encounter them. It will winnow them away like a tempest. So lawlessness will make all the land desolate. Their evil-doing will overturn the thrones of princes.↗
