26
The basic necessities of human 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 good for the godly, but for sinners they turn into evils.
28
"There are winds created for vengeance, and in their anger they can dislodge mountains; on the day of reckoning they will pour out their strength and calm the anger of their Maker.
29
Fire and hail and famine and pestilence, all these have been created for vengeance;
30
the fangs of wild animals and scorpions and vipers, and the sword that punishes the ungodly with destruction.
31
They take delight in doing his bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey his command."
32
So from the beginning I have been convinced of all this and have thought it out and left it in writing:
33
All the works of the Lord are good, and he will supply every need in its time.
34
No one can say, "This is not as good as that," for everything proves good in its appointed time.
35
So now sing praise with all your heart and voice, and bless the name of the Lord.
