Wisdom 17:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. For great are your judgments, and hard to describe;therefore the unruly souls went astray.

2. For when the lawless thought to enslave the holy nation,they themselves lay shackled with darkness, fettered by the long night,confined beneath their own roofs as exiles from the eternal providence.

3. For they, who supposed their secret sins were hidunder the dark veil of oblivion,Were scattered in fearful trembling,terrified by apparitions.
