Wisdom 16:11

11 To remind them of your oracles they were bitten, and then were quickly delivered, so that they would not fall into deep forgetfulness and become unresponsive to your kindness.

Wisdom 16:11 In-Context

9 For they were killed by the bites of locusts and flies, and no healing was found for them, because they deserved to be punished by such things.
10 But your children were not conquered even by the fangs of venomous serpents, for your mercy came to their help and healed them.
11 To remind them of your oracles they were bitten, and then were quickly delivered, so that they would not fall into deep forgetfulness and become unresponsive to your kindness.
12 For neither herb nor poultice cured them, but it was your word, O Lord, that heals all people.
13 For you have power over life and death; you lead mortals down to the gates of Hades and back again.
