Wisdom 16:23-25
Revised Standard Version
23 whereas the fire,[a] in order that the righteous might be fed,
even forgot its native power.
24 For creation, serving thee who hast made it,
exerts itself to punish the unrighteous,
and in kindness relaxes on behalf of those who trust in thee.
25 Therefore at that time also, changed into all forms,
it served thy all-nourishing bounty,
according to the desire of those who had need,[b]
