Wisdom 17:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ The illusions produced by their magic tricks were put to shame, and all the wisdom they had boasted of came to nothing. ⁸ They had claimed they could drive away all the fears and illnesses of sick minds, but now they themselves were sick with silly, groundless fears. ⁹ Even though nothing dangerous had actually happened, they were terrified by hissing snakes and animals advancing on them.
