From the book of the Wisdom of Solomon (a Deuterocanonical book) Chapter 16:15-19
16:15 It is not possible to escape your hand.
16:16 The godless who refused to acknowledge you were scourged by the strength of your arm, pursued by no ordinary rains, hail and unrelenting downpours, and consumed by fire.
16:17 Even more wonderful, in the water — which quenches all — the fire raged fiercer than ever; for the elements fight for the upright.
16:18 At one moment, the fire would die down, to avoid consuming the animals sent against the godless and to make clear to them by that sight, that the sentence of God was pursuing them;
16:19 at another, in the very heart of the water, it would burn more fiercely than fire to ruin the produce of a wicked land.
