Wisdom 16:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Instead of which things thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.

²¹ For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked.

²² But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that fire burning in the hail and flashing in the rain destroyed the fruits of the enemies.
