21 No cause then to say: “What is the purpose of this?”Everything is chosen to satisfy a need.
22 His blessing overflows like the Nile;like the Euphrates it enriches the surface of the earth.
23 Even so, his wrath dispossesses the nationsand turns fertile land into a salt marsh.
24 For the virtuous his paths are level,to the haughty they are clogged with stones.
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.
