16 LIBER SAPIENTIAE SOLOMONIS Wisdom - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Wisdom - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
20Pro quibus angelorum esca nutrivisti populum tuum,
et paratum panem de cælo præstitisti illis sine labore,
omne delectamentum in se habentem,
et omnis saporis suavitatem.
 Manna. Wis.16.20-29
21Substantia enim tua dulcedinem tuam,
quam in filios habes, ostendebat;
et deserviens uniuscujusque voluntati,
ad quod quisque volebat convertebatur.
  
22Nix autem et glacies sustinebant vim ignis, et non tabescebant:
ut scirent quoniam fructus inimicorum exterminabat
ignis ardens in grandine et pluvia coruscans;
  
23hic autem iterum ut nutrirentur justi,
etiam suæ virtutis oblitus est.
  
24Creatura enim tibi factori deserviens,
exardescit in tormentum adversus injustos,
et lenior fit ad benefaciendum pro his qui in te confidunt.
  
25Propter hoc et tunc in omnia transfigurata,
omnium nutrici gratiæ tuæ deserviebat,
ad voluntatem eorum qui a te desiderabant:
  
26ut scirent filii tui quos dilexisti, Domine,
quoniam non nativitatis fructus pascunt homines,
sed sermo tuus hos qui in te crediderint conservat.
  
27Quod enim ab igne non poterat exterminari,
statim ab exiguo radio solis calefactum tabescebat:
  
28ut notum omnibus esset
quoniam oportet prævenire solem ad benedictionem tuam,
et ad ortum lucis te adorare.
  
29Ingrati enim spes tamquam hibernalis glacies tabescet,
et disperiet tamquam aqua supervacua.		  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
