Wisdom 17:1

1 For great are Thy judgments and cannot be expressed; therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

Wisdom 17:1 In-Context

1 For great are Thy judgments and cannot be expressed; therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

2 For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation, they, being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay there exiled from the Eternal Providence.

3 For while they supposed in their secret sins to lie hid, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished and troubled with strange apparitions.

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.
