Wisdom 17:6

6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled by itself, very dreadful; for, being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.

Wisdom 17:6 In-Context

4 For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear; but noises as of waters falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.
5 No power of the fire might give them light; neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.
6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled by itself, very dreadful; for, being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.
7 As for the illusions of magic art, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.
8 For those, who promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves from fear, worthy to be laughed at.
