Wisdom of Solomon 10:1-5
-
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.
-
5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.
