Wisdom of Solomon 16:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 For they were killed by the bites of locusts and flies,
and no healing was found for them
because they deserved to be punished by such things.(A)
10 But your children were not conquered even by the fangs of venomous serpents,
for your mercy came to their help and healed them.(B)
11 To remind them of your oracles they were bitten
and then were quickly delivered,
so that they would not fall into deep forgetfulness
and become unresponsive[a] to your kindness.(C)
