Wisdom of Solomon 19:15-20
-
15 And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:
-
16 But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.
-
17 Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.
-
18 For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.
-
19 For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.
-
20 The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.
