Wisdom 16:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 and at another time even in the midst of water it burned more intensely than fire,
to destroy the crops of the unrighteous land.
The Israelites Receive Manna
20 Instead of these things you gave your people food of angels,
and without their toil you supplied them from heaven with bread ready to eat,
providing every pleasure and suited to every taste.
21 For your sustenance manifested your sweetness towards your children;
and the bread, ministering[a] to the desire of the one who took it,
was changed to suit everyone’s liking.
