Wisdom 16:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ But in order that those who do the right thing might be fed, fire itself forgot how powerful it was. ²⁴ Creation, which serves you, the one who made it, tenses itself in preparation for the judgment of those who have done wrong and then relaxes itself again in order to benefit those who have put their trust in you.

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.
