26 Basic to all the necessities of human lifeare water, fire, iron, salt,fine flour, milk, honey,wine, oil, and clothing.
27 For the godly,all these things are for good,but for sinners, they will turn into evil.
28 There are winds that have been createdfor vengeance,and they whip with strengthin their wrath.At the moment of consummation,they will pour out their strength,and they will calm the wrathof their maker.
29 Fire, hail, famine, and death—all have been created for vengeance—
30 the teeth of wild beasts, scorpions, vipers, and a swordpunishing the ungodlywith destruction.
31 These things gladly dowhat he commands.They will be ready for his serviceon the earth,and they won’t violate his wordwhen their time comes.
32 Because of this,I’ve been steadfast from the beginning:I’ve thought things outand left them in writing.
