Wisdom 17:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.

¹¹ For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the succours from thought.

¹² And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.
