Wisdom of Solomon 19:19–21

For creatures of dry land were turned into creatures of waters,

And creatures that swim trode now upon the earth:

Fire kept the mastery of its own power in the midst of water,

And water forgat its quenching nature:

Contrariwise, flames wasted not the flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them;

Neither melted they the ice-like grains of ambrosial food, that were of nature apt to melt.
