Wisdom 16:27-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

27. For what was not destroyed by fire,melted when merely warmed by a momentary sunbeam;

28. To make known that one must give you thanks before sunrise,and turn to you at daybreak.

29. For the hope of the ungrateful melts like a wintry frostand runs off like useless water.
