Wisdom 16:21

21 For your sustenance manifested your sweetness toward your children; and the bread, ministering to the desire of the one who took it, was changed to suit everyone's liking.

Wisdom 16:21 In-Context

19 and at another time even in the midst of water it burned more intensely than fire, to destroy the crops of the unrighteous land.

20 Instead of these things you gave your people food of angels, and without their toil you supplied them from heaven with bread ready to eat, providing every pleasure and suited to every taste.

21 For your sustenance manifested your sweetness toward your children; and the bread, ministering to the desire of the one who took it, was changed to suit everyone's liking.

22 Snow and ice withstood fire without melting, so that they might know that the crops of their enemies were being destroyed by the fire that blazed in the hail and flashed in the showers of rain;

23 whereas the fire, in order that the righteous might be fed, even forgot its native power.
