| Wisdom 17:2 | *For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence. Exodus 10:23. | Providence, and day-light, like incorrigible slaves, in prison. (Calmet) --- The Egyptians were three days in darkness, (Exodus 10:22.) and the Gentiles continued without faith in God, till after Christ's resurrection. (Worthington) --- Only few served him, before that glorious event. |
