Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 18:22

ἐνίκησε δὲ τὸν ὄχλον οὐκ ἰσχύϊ τοῦ σώματος, οὐχ ὅπλων ἐνεργείᾳ, ἀλλὰ λόγῳ τὸν κολάζοντα ὑπέταξεν, ὅρκους πατέρων καὶ διαθήκας ὑπομνήσας.
King James Version (KJV)

So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued he him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.

Modern English

He overcame the destroyer not by bodily strength or force of arms, but by a word he subdued the one who punished, appealing to the oaths and covenants made with the ancestors.
