Sirach 39:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ The basic needs of life are these:
    water, fire, iron, and salt,
    flour, honey, and milk,
    wine, clothing, and oil.
²⁷ All these things are good for those who are devout,
    but they turn into evils for sinners.
²⁸ There are winds that were created to bring punishment,
    fierce enough to move mountains.^[a]
In times of judgment, they unleash their strength
    and calm the anger of their maker.
