Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 16:26

ἵνα μάθωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου, οὓς ἠγάπησας, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐχ αἱ γενέσεις τῶν καρπῶν τρέφουσιν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου τοὺς σοὶ πιστεύοντας διατηρεῖ.
King James Version (KJV)

That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.

Modern English

so that your children, O Lord, whom you love, might understand that it is not the produce of the earth that nourishes a person, but your word, which preserves those who trust in you.
