Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 16:22

χιὼν δὲ καὶ κρύσταλλος ὑπέμεινε πῦρ καὶ οὐκ ἐτήκετο, ἵνα γνῶσιν ὅτι τοὺς τῶν ἐχθρῶν καρποὺς κατέφθειρε πῦρ φλεγόμενον ἐν τῇ χαλάζῃ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὑετοῖς διαστράπτον·
King James Version (KJV)

But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.

Modern English

Yet snow and ice withstood fire and did not melt, so that people might know that fire, burning within hail and flashing in rain, was destroying the crops of the enemy.
