Wisdom 17:8 In-Context

6 Nothing was shining through to them except a dreadful, self-kindled fire, and in terror they deemed the things which they saw to be worse than that unseen appearance.

7 The delusions of their magic art lay humbled, and their boasted wisdom was scornfully rebuked.

8 For those who promised to drive off the fears and disorders of a sick soul were sick themselves with ridiculous fear.

9 For even if nothing disturbing frightened them, yet, scared by the passing of beasts and the hissing of serpents,

10 they perished in trembling fear, refusing to look even at the air, though it nowhere could be avoided.
