Wisdom 16:25

25 Creation assumed all kinds of forms to show how you provide generously for all who pray to you.

Wisdom 16:25 In-Context

23 held back its power, so that your own righteous people might have food.

24 You created the universe; it is at your command. All creation uses its power to punish unrighteous people, but it becomes mild and kind to those who put their trust in you.

25 Creation assumed all kinds of forms to show how you provide generously for all who pray to you.

26 This happened so that the people whom you loved, O Lord, might learn that they are not fed by what they can grow. It is your word that maintains those who put their trust in you.

27 The food that was not destroyed by the fire melted when the first ray of sunlight warmed it.
