Wisdom 19:19–22
19For creatures of the dry land were turned into creatures of the waters, and creatures that swim moved upon the land.↗
20Fire kept the mastery of its own power in water, and water forgot its quenching nature.↗
21On the contrary, flames didn’t consume flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them, neither did they melt the crystalline grains of ambrosial food that were melted easily.↗
22For in all things, O Lord, you magnified your people, and you glorified them and didn’t lightly regard them, standing by their side in every time and place.↗
