Wisdom of Solomon 11:18–20

18 or newly created unknown beasts full of rage,

or such as breathe out fiery breath,

or belch forth a thick pall of smoke,

or flash terrible sparks from their eyes;

19 not only could their damage exterminate men,

but the mere sight of them could kill by fright.

20 Even apart from these, men could fall at a single breath

when pursued by justice

and scattered by the breath of thy power.

But thou hast arranged all things by measure and number and weight.
