Ecclesiasticus 39:26-34 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

31. The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing.

32. All these things shall be for good to the holy, so to the sinners and the ungodly they shall be turned into evil.

33. There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments.

34. In the time of destruction they shall pour out their force: and they shall appease the wrath of him that made them.
