Wisdom 16:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ For why sometime the fire was mild [or tamed], lest the beasts should be burnt, that were sent to (or sent against) wicked [or unpious] men; but that they seeing should know, that they suffer persecution by the doom of God.

¹⁹ And sometime the fire burnt on high on each side in the water, above the virtue (or the power) of fire, to destroy the wicked nation of the land.

²⁰ For which things thou nourishedest thy people with (the) meat of angels, and thou gavest from heaven bread made ready to (or for) them, without travail; having all delighting in itself, and the sweetness of all savour. [For the which with the meat of angels thou nourishedest thy people, and thou gave to them bread made ready from heaven, without travail; having all delighting in itself, and sweetness of all savour.]
