Wisdom Of Solomon 19:20-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. Fire was able to burn on the open water, while water forgot that it was supposed to put fire out.

21. Flames no longer burned the exposed flesh of living beings, who were able to walk through the flames. Flames didn’t even melt the frostlike crystals that were a kind of food of everlasting life.

22. In every way, Lord, you have made your people great and given them great honor. You never neglected them, but you stood by them in every time and place.
