The King James Version Bible

Wisdom of Solomon 10:1-4

  1. She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

  2. And gave him power to rule all things.

  3. But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

  4. For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.
