Ben Sira 39:25

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

Ben Sira 39:25 In-Context

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.

26 The basic needs of life are these: water, fire, iron, and salt, flour, honey, and milk, wine, clothing, and oil.

27 All these things are good for those who are devout, but they turn into evils for sinners.
