Wisdom 16:15

Storms and bread

15 It is impossible to escape from your hand.

Wisdom 16:15 In-Context

13 You have power over life and death. You lead people down to the gates of hell, and you bring them back up again.

14 Humans can indeed kill by their evil, but they can't bring back the life that has expired or restore the spirit that has been taken away.

15 It is impossible to escape from your hand.

16 Even though the ungodly denied any knowledge of you, it was your strong arm that afflicted them. They were pursued by strange rainfalls that never stopped, and by hailstorms and downpours. They were pursued by a fire that consumed everything.

17 The most unusual thing about this fire was that it showed that it was stronger than water, which normally quenches any fire. Yet the universe itself comes to the defense of those who do what is right.
