The Wisdom of Solomon 19:18-22

[18] For the elements changed places with one another,

as on a harp the notes vary the nature of the rhythm,
while each note remains the same. 
This may be clearly inferred from the sight of what took place. 
[19] For land animals were transformed into water creatures,
and creatures that swim moved over to the land. 
[20] Fire even in water retained its normal power,
and water forgot its fire-quenching nature. 
[21] Flames, on the contrary, failed to consume
the flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them,
nor did they melt the crystalline, easily melted
kind of heavenly food. 

[22] For in everything, O Lord, you have exalted
and glorified your people; 
and you have not neglected to help them at
all times and in all places.
