| 18 | For the elements changed places with one another, as on a harp the notes vary the nature of the rhythm, while each note remains the same.

| 20 | Fire even in water retained its normal power, and water forgot its fire-quenching nature. | φλόγες ἀνάπαλιν εὐφθάρτων ζῴων οὐκ ἐμάραναν σάρκας ἐμπεριπατούντων, οὐδὲ τηκτὸν κρυσταλλοειδὲς εὔτηκτον γένος ἀμβροσίας τροφῆς. | |

| 22 | For in everything, O Lord, you have exalted and glorified your people; and you have not neglected to help them at all times and in all places. | Κατὰ πάντα γάρ, Κύριε, ἐμεγάλυνας τὸν λαόν σου καὶ ἐδόξασας, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερεῖδες ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ καὶ τόπῳ παριστάμενος. | |
