Wisdom 16:19

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.

Wisdom 16:19 In-Context

17 For -- most incredible of all -- in the water, which quenches all things, the fire had still greater effect, for the universe defends the righteous.

18 At one time the flame was restrained, so that it might not consume the creatures sent against the ungodly, but that seeing this they might know that they were being pursued by the judgment of God;

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 thou didst give thy people food of angels, and without their toil thou didst supply them from heaven with bread ready to eat, providing every pleasure and suited to every taste.

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