Wisdom of Solomon 16:29
King James VersionSource notes
“For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter’s hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.”
Context
26That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
27For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:
28That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto thee.
29For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter’s hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.
