Wisdom 19:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ Fire burned even in water, which could not put it out. ²¹ And yet the flames could not burn the flesh of the perishable creatures walking in them and did not melt that heavenly food that would ordinarily have melted like frost.

²² Lord, you have made your people great—glorious in all respects. You have never neglected them. You have given them help, always, everywhere.
