Wisdom 16:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ And so it was that what was created was changed. It became a minister of your gift, completely nourishing and fulfilling the desire of those in need. ²⁶ In this way your children, whom you love, Lord, would learn that it isn’t the various kinds of crops that sustain humans, but it is your word that preserves those who trust in you. ²⁷ As proof, what wasn’t destroyed by the fire simply melted away when it was warmed by a gentle sunbeam.
