29 Fire and hail and famine and death, all these were created for vengeance;

Ben Sira 39:29 In-Context

27 All these things are for good to the godly; so to the sinners they are turned into evil.

28 There are spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of Him that made them.

29 Fire and hail and famine and death, all these were created for vengeance;

30 teeth of wild beasts and scorpions, serpents, and the sword punishing the wicked to destruction.

31 They shall rejoice in His commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth when need is; and when their time is come, they shall not transgress His word.
