| Wisdom 16:17 | And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just. | The fire had more force. Viz., When the fire and hail mingled together laid waste the land of Egypt, Exodus ix. (Challoner) --- This destroyed the useful cattle, but not such as infested the Egyptians. (Worthington) --- The water seemed to nourish the flames, 3 Kings 18:39. |
