Wisdom 5:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 Shall take invincible holiness for a shield,(A)
20 and sharpen his sudden anger for a sword.
The universe will war with him against the foolhardy;
21 Well-aimed bolts of lightning will go forth
and from the clouds will leap to the mark as from a well-drawn bow;(B)
