Sirach 39:23
Print
Similarly, his anger will overtake the nations, as he changed fresh waters into brine.
For at his commandment favour is shewn, and there is no diminishing of his salvation.
He turns fresh water into salt water, and he turns his anger on the nations.
Even so, his wrath dispossesses the nations and turns fertile land into a salt marsh.
Thus, the nations experience his wrath, just as he transformed the waters into a salt desert.
But his wrath drives out the nations, as when he turned a watered land into salt.
But his wrath drives out the nations, as when he turned a watered land into salt.
But his wrath drives out the nations, as when he turned a watered land into salt.
The nations will inherit his wrath, as when he turned a watered land into salt.
The nations will incur his wrath, just as he turns fresh water into salt.
The nations will incur his wrath, just as he turns fresh water into salt.
and as the great flood filled greatly the earth, so his ire shall inherit in folks, that sought not him. [and as the universal flood full-filled the earth, so the wrath of him shall heritage Gentiles, that sought him not out.]
