Sirach 39:24–27

24 To the holy his ways are straight,

just as they are obstacles to the wicked.

25 From the beginning good things were created for good people,

just as evil things for sinners.

26 Basic to all the needs of man’s life

are water and fire and iron and salt

and wheat flour and milk and honey,

the blood of the grape, and oil and clothing.

27 All these are for good to the godly,

just as they turn into evils for sinners.
