Sirach 39:36-41
{39:36} The teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, and serpents, and the spear: all these take vengeance upon the impious, unto utter destruction.
{39:37} At his command, they will feast. And they will be prepared upon the earth until they are needed. And in their time, they will not ignore his word.
{39:38} For this reason, from the beginning, I was strengthened, and I have meditated, and I have considered, and I have put these things in writing.
{39:39} All the works of the Lord are good, and he will provide for each work in its own hour.
{39:40} Let it not be said: “This is worse than that.” For all things will be tested in their time.
{39:41} And now, with the whole heart and mouth, give praise to him, and bless the name of the Lord.
Sirach 39:31-35
{39:31} The principal things necessary for the life of men are: water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and flour for bread, and honey, and the grape cluster, and oil, and clothing.
{39:32} All these things will be used for good by those who are holy, but they will be turned to evil use by the impious and by sinners.
{39:33} There are spirits that have been created for vengeance, and they strengthen their torments by their fury.
{39:34} In the time of the consummation, they will pour forth their strength. And they will appease the fury of the One who made them.
{39:35} Fire, hail, famine, and death: all these were created for vengeance.
