Wisdom 17:15 In-Context

13 When you lack the confidence to rely on reason, you give in to the fears caused by ignorance.

14 All night long those people slept the same restless sleep, even though the night held no power over them, since it came from the powerless depths of the world of the dead.

15 They were chased by hideous forms and lay paralyzed as they surrendered themselves to the sudden, unexpected fear that came over them.

16 People would suddenly collapse and lie locked in the chains of their own fear.

17 Farmers, shepherds, and laborers out in the countryside were captured by the same inevitable fate and bound in the darkness by the same invisible chain.
