Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 17:21

μόνοις δὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπετέτατο βαρεῖα νύξ, εἰκὼν τοῦ μέλλοντος αὐτοὺς διαδέχεσθαι σκότους, ἑαυτοῖς δὲ ἦσαν βαρύτεροι σκότους.
King James Version (KJV)

Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

Modern English

while over these alone spread a heavy night, an image of the darkness that would later claim them; yet even so, they were a heavier burden to themselves than the darkness itself.
