Wisdom 16:16

16 For the ungodly, refusing to know Thee, were scourged by the strength of Thine arm. With strange rains, hails, and showers were they persecuted, which they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

Wisdom 16:16 In-Context

14 A man indeed killeth through his malice; and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not, neither the soul received up cometh again.

15 But it is not possible to escape Thine hand.

16 For the ungodly, refusing to know Thee, were scourged by the strength of Thine arm. With strange rains, hails, and showers were they persecuted, which they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

17 For (which is most to be wondered at) the fire had more force in the water that quencheth all things; for the world fighteth for the righteous.

18 For sometimes the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly, but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God.
