25 From the beginning, good things
have been made for good people,
    but bad things for sinners.[a]
26 Basic to all the necessities of human life
    are water, fire, iron, salt,
    fine flour, milk, honey,
    wine,[b] oil, and clothing.
27 For the godly,
all these things are for good,
    but for sinners, they will turn into evil.
