‏ Wisdom of Solomon 17:7

7 and, having been ridiculed, the illusions were removed from their arts along with their contemptuous rebuke of glorious wisdom. ^{▼▼17:7The unjust are ridiculed by being struck with fear; the magic or illusions of their arts have been taken away from them along with the contempt the unjust have for wisdom. Here wisdom is not doing the rebuking. The unjust have contemptuously rebuked the truths of wisdom, but at this time the foolishness of the unjust is exposed.(Conte)}
