Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 39:28

ἔστι πνεύματα, ἃ εἰς ἐκδίκησιν ἔκτισται καὶ ἐν θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστερέωσαν μάστιγας αὐτῶν· ἐν καιρῷ συντελείας ἰσχὺν ἐκχεοῦσι καὶ τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτοὺς κοπάσουσι.
King James Version (KJV)

There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them.

Modern English

There are forces created for vengeance, which in their fury inflict harsh blows; in the time of destruction they unleash their power and satisfy the wrath of the one who made them.
