Wisdom 16:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸ At one time the flame was restrained,
so that it might not consume the creatures sent against the ungodly,
but that seeing this they might know
that they were being pursued by the judgment of God;
¹⁹ and at another time even in the midst of water it burned more intensely than fire,
to destroy the crops of the unrighteous land.

²⁰ Instead of these things thou didst give thy people food of angels,
and without their toil thou didst supply them from heaven with bread ready to eat,
providing every pleasure and suited to every taste.
