19. For land creatures were changed into water creatures,and those that swam went over on land.
20. Fire in water maintained its own strength,and water forgot its quenching nature;
21. Flames, by contrast, neither consumed the fleshof the perishable animals that went about in them,nor melted the icelike, quick-melting kind of ambrosial food.
22. For every way, Lord! you magnified and glorified your people;unfailing, you stood by them in every time and circumstance.
