Wisdom of Solomon 10:12-21
-
12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
-
13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
-
14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
-
15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
-
16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
-
17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
-
18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
-
19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
-
20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.
-
21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
