Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 16:17

τὸ γὰρ παραδοξότατον, ἐν τῷ πάντα σβεννύντι ὕδατι πλεῖον ἐνήργει τὸ πῦρ, ὑπέρμαχος γὰρ ὁ κόσμος ἐστὶ δικαίων·
King James Version (KJV)

For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world fighteth for the righteous.

Modern English

Most astonishing of all, the fire burned even more fiercely in water, which normally extinguishes everything, for creation itself fights on behalf of the righteous.
