Wisdom 16:24-26

Wycliffe Bible

²⁴ For why the creature serving to thee the Maker, waxeth white into torment against unjust men [or burneth out into torment against unrightwise men], and is made lighter [or softer] to do well, for them that trust in thee.

²⁵ For this thing and all things transfigured then, that is, changed from the property of their kind, served to thy grace, nourisher of all things, to the will of them, that be desired of (or by) thee;

²⁶ (so) that, Lord, thy sons should know, which thou lovedest, that not the fruits of birth, that is, not only (the) fruits coming forth of (or from) (the) earth, feed men, but thy word keepeth them, that believe in thee. [that thy sons, whom thou lovedest, Lord, should know, for not the fruit of birth fed men, but thy word kept them, that in the believed.]
