25. Good things for the good he provided from the beginning,but for the wicked good things and bad.
26. Chief of all needs for human lifeare water and fire, iron and salt,The heart of the wheat, milk and honey,the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
27. For the good all these are good,but for the wicked they turn out evil.
28. There are stormwinds created to punish;in their fury they can dislodge mountains.In a time of destruction they hurl their forceand calm the anger of their Maker.
29. Fire and hail, famine and disease:these too were created for punishment.
30. Ravenous beasts, scorpions, vipers,and the avenging sword to exterminate the wicked:All these were created to meet a need,and are kept in his storehouse for the proper time.
31. When he commands them, they rejoice,in their assigned tasks they do not disobey his command.
