Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 19:18

δι᾿ ἑαυτῶν γὰρ τὰ στοιχεῖα μεθαρμοζόμενα, ὥσπερ ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ φθόγγοι τοῦ ρυθμοῦ τὸ ὄνομα διαλλάσσουσι, πάντοτε μένοντα ἤχῳ, ὅπερ ἐστὶν εἰκάσαι ἐκ τῆς τῶν γεγονότων ὄψεως ἀκριβῶς.
King James Version (KJV)

For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

Modern English

For the elements were rearranged among themselves in a kind of harmony, the way notes on a harp change their pitch while remaining the same instrument, as can readily be seen from a careful look at what took place.
