Wisdom 19:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ Therefore, they were struck blind, just like those people who had gathered at the door of one who had also done what was right. A veil of darkness was cast around them, and each one of them groped for the entrance to his own gates.

¹⁸ If we are careful to observe events, we can see just how the elements of the universe are transformed. It’s the same transformation that happens when someone changes the sounds that a harp makes by changing the key while continuing to play the same melody. ¹⁹ In this way, land animals were changed into underwater creatures, while animals that swam in the waters now moved onto the land.
