Wisdom 18: 14-16, 19: 6-9
| 18:14 | For, when a quiet silence surrounded all things, and when the course of the night was passing the middle of its journey, |
| 18:15 | your almighty word from heaven leapt down from your royal throne, as a fierce warrior in the midst of the land of extermination, |
| 18:16 | as a sharp sword carrying your unfeigned authority, and standing, filled all things with death, and, standing on the earth, reached all the way up to touch heaven. |
19:6 For every creature according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, diligently serving your teachings, so that your children would be preserved unharmed.
19:7 For a cloud overshadowed their camp, and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea, a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep, a level field sprung up,
19:8 through which the whole nation passed, protected by your hand, seeing your miracles and wonders.
19:9 For they consumed food like horses, and they leapt about like lambs, praising you, O Lord, who had freed them.
