Wisdom 16:21-23
Revised Standard Version
Wisdom 16:21-23
Revised Standard Version
21 For thy sustenance manifested thy sweetness toward thy children;
and the bread, ministering[a] to the desire of the one who took it,
was changed to suit every one’s liking.
22 Snow and ice withstood fire without melting,
so that they might know that the crops of their enemies
were being destroyed by the fire that blazed in the hail
and flashed in the showers of rain;
23 whereas the fire,[b] in order that the righteous might be fed,
even forgot its native power.
