"The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing."
In context
29Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath.
30Good things were created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked, good and evil things.
31The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
32All these things shall be for good to the holy, so to the sinners and the ungodly they shall be turned into evil.
33There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments.
