Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ Moreover, death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, oppressions, famine, and affliction, and scourges:

¹⁰ All these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

¹¹ All things that are of the earth, shall return to the earth again, and all waters shall return to the sea.
