Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

¹⁷ And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just.

Good News Translation (US Version)

¹⁷ The most amazing thing was that the fire burned all the more fiercely in the water, which usually puts fire out. All the forces of nature fight to defend those who are righteous.

¹⁷ For, what was most marvelous, in the water which quenches all things, the fire burned hotter; for the world fights for the righteous.

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

¹⁷ Although water is used to put out a fire, an amazing thing happened—the water made the fire even more destructive, because nature itself protects good people.
