Ben Sira 39:28

28 And as a flood hath watered the earth; so shall his wrath inherit the nations, that have not sought after him:

Ben Sira 39:28 In-Context

26 There is no saying: What is this, or what is that? for all things shall be sought in their time.

27 His blessing hath overflowed like a river.

28 And as a flood hath watered the earth; so shall his wrath inherit the nations, that have not sought after him:

29 Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath.

30 Good things were created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked, good and evil things.
