Wisdom of Solomon 16:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 For creation, serving you who made it,
exerts itself to punish the unrighteous
and in kindness relaxes on behalf of those who trust in you.(A)
25 Therefore at that time also, changed into all forms,
it served your all-nourishing bounty,
according to the desire of those who had need,[a](B)
26 so that your children, whom you loved, O Lord, might learn
that it is not the production of crops that feeds humankind
but that your word sustains those who trust in you.(C)
