Wisdom of Solomon 18:14
King James VersionSource notes
“For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,”
Context
11The master and the servant were punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common person.
12So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.
13For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.
14For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,
15Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction,
16And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth.
17Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.
