Wisdom 19:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Fire even in water retained its normal power,
and water forgot its fire-quenching nature.
²¹ Flames, on the contrary, failed to consume
the flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them,
nor did they melt^[a] the crystalline, quick-melting kind of heavenly food.

²² For in everything, O Lord, you have exalted and glorified your people,
and you have not neglected to help them at all times and in all places.
