Ben Sira 39:23

23 He turns fresh water into salt water, and he turns his anger on the nations.

Ben Sira 39:23 In-Context

21 No one should ask why things are as they are; everything in creation has its purpose.

22 His blessings overflow like the Nile, enriching the world in a fertile flood.

23 He turns fresh water into salt water, and he turns his anger on the nations.

24 For the devout, his ways are straight; for the wicked, they are laid with traps.

25 From the beginning he has made good things for the good and terrible things for sinners.
