Wisdom of Solomon 16:25-29
-
25 Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:
-
26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
-
27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:
-
28 That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto thee.
-
29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.
