Wisdom 16:7

7 If a person looked at that symbol, he was cured of the snakebite - not by what he saw, but by you, the savior of all mankind.

Wisdom 16:7 In-Context

5 When terrible, fierce snakes attacked your people and were killing them with their poison, you did not remain angry long enough to destroy your people.

6 This trouble lasted for only a little while, as a warning. Then you gave them a healing symbol, the bronze snake, to remind them of what your Law requires.

7 If a person looked at that symbol, he was cured of the snakebite - not by what he saw, but by you, the savior of all mankind.

8 By doing this, you also convinced our enemies that you are the one who rescues people from every evil.

9 Our enemies died from the bites of locusts and flies; no way was found to cure them, because they deserved to be punished by such creatures.
