Sirach 39:28–36

²⁸And as a flood hath watered the earth; so shall his wrath inherit the nations, that have not sought after him.

²⁹Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath.

³⁰Good things were created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked, good and evil things.

³¹The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing.

³²All these things shall be for good to the holy, so to the sinners and the ungodly they shall be turned into evil.

³³There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments.

³⁴In the time of destruction they shall pour out their force: and they shall appease the wrath of him that made them.

³⁵Fire, hail, famine, and death, all these were created for vengeance.

³⁶The teeth of beasts, and scorpions, and serpents, and the sword taking vengeance upon the ungodly unto destruction.
