Wisdom of Solomon 18:25
King James VersionSource notes
“Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.”
Context
22So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.
23For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.
24For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.
25Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.
