  9. Wisdom of Solomon 5:18-23

Wisdom of Solomon 5:18-23

  1. He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.

  2. He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

  3. His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

  4. Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.

  5. And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.

  6. Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.
