What does Wisdom Chapter 19 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Wisdom 19 attributes merciless final wrath to foreknowledge of opponents' acts. After carefully sending Israel away they regretted release and pursued while still mourning the dead, forgetting earlier events, meeting fitting necessity and a new death while God's people passed wonderfully. Creation was refashioned by kind in obedience to keep his children unharmed; camp cloud, dry ground, unobstructed Red Sea way and a springing field led the nation through wonders. They ate like horses and skipped like lambs in praise, remembering ground producing flies instead of cattle and river frogs instead of fish. Asked-for delicacies brought birds, quails from the sea; sinners faced punishments with preceding thunder signs.

The passage contrasts those refusing unknown strangers and reluctantly receiving them with those enslaving beneficial guests welcomed joyfully under shared laws. Sudden blindness is compared with people at a just man's doors seeking their own passages. The chapter does not locally name Sodom or Lot, describe guests saving an entire kingdom, or substitute gnats for flies.

Elements' changes resemble changed instrument sounds retaining sound. A separate edition note explains miracle changes preserving harmony through obedience. Land things became water things and water-swimmers passed on land; fire exceeded its strength in water and water forgot quenching. Flames spared corruptible animal flesh and meltable good food; the note names manna. The closing prayer says God magnified, honored and assisted his people at all times and places. This is an attributed retrospective praise, not an added guarantee of safety for every believer in every circumstance.
