Wisdom of Solomon 17:10

they died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.

They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.

they perished trembling in fear, refusing even to look at the air, which could not be escaped on any side.

For it is a feareful thing, when malice is condemned by her owne testimonie: and a conscience that is touched, doeth euer forecast cruel things.
