Wis 10:1 

She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was 

created alone, and brought him out of his fall, 

Wis 10:2 

And gave him power to rule all things. 

Wis 10:3 

But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he 

perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. 

Wis 10:4 

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. 

Wis 10:5 

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. 

Wis 10:6 

When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, 

who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities. 

Wis 10:7 

Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that 

smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come 

to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an 

unbelieving soul. 

Wis 10:8 

For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that 

they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind 

them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in 

the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be 

hid. 

Wis 10:9 

Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her. 

Wis 10:10 

When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided 

him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him 

knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and 

multiplied the fruit of his labours. 

Wis 10:11 

In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by 

him, and made him rich. 

Wis 10:12 

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. 

Wis 10:13 

When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but 

delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit, 

Wis 10:14 

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. 

Wis 10:15 

She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from 

the nation that oppressed them. 

Wis 10:16 

She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and 

withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs; 

Wis 10:17 

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; 

Wis 10:18 

Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much 

water: 

Wis 10:19 

But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the 

bottom of the deep. 

Wis 10:20 

Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy 

holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, 

that fought for them. 

Wis 10:21 

For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues 

of them that cannot speak eloquent.
