The King James Version Bible

Wisdom of Solomon 14:1-4

  1. Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

  2. For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.

  3. But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;

  4. Shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.
