Wisdom of Solomon 17:6
“For from that fire, which was punishing the wicked, they were terrified with fear, dreading punishments on all sides, because the more severe the pains of punishment one feels, the greater the horrors he fears may come upon him.”
6Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.

4For 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.
5No power of the fire might give them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.
— Wisdom of Solomon 17:6 —
7As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.
8For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.
