| 1 | She preserued the first formed father of the world that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall, |
| 2 | And gaue him power to rule all things. |
| 3 | But when the vnrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherwith he murdered his brother. |
| 4 | For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, Wisedome againe preserued it, & directed the course of the righteous, in a piece of wood, of small value. |
| 5 | Moreouer, the nations in their wicked conspiracie being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserued him blamelesse vnto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion towards his sonne. |
| 6 | When the vngodly perished, shee deliuered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell downe vpon the fiue cities. |
| 7 | Of whose wickednesse euen to this day the waste land that smoketh, is a testimonie, and plants bearing fruite that neuer come to ripenesse: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an vnbeleeuing soule. |
| 8 | For regarding not wisedome, they gate not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good: but also left behind them to the world a memoriall of their foolishnes: so that in the things wherein they offended, they could not so much as be hid. |
| 9 | But Wisedome deliuered from paine those that attended vpon her. |
| 10 | When the righteous fled from his brothers wrath, she guided him in right paths: shewed him the kingdome of God: and gaue him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his trauailes, and multiplied the fruit of his labours. |
| 11 | In the couetousnesse of such as oppressed him, she stood by him, and made him rich. |
| 12 | She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gaue him the victory, that he might knowe that godlinesse is stronger then all. |
| 13 | When the righteous was solde, she forsooke him not, but deliuered him from sinne: she went downe with him into the pit, |
| 14 | And left him not in bonds till she brought him the scepter of the kingdom and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liers, and gaue them perpetuall glory. |
| 15 | She deliuered the righteous people, and blamelesse seed from the nation that oppressed them. |
| 16 | She entred into the soule of the seruant of the Lord, and withstood dreadfull kings in wonders and signes, |
| 17 | Rendred to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marueilous way, and was vnto them for a couer by day, and a light of starres in the night season: |
| 18 | Brought them through the red sea, and led them thorow much water. |
| 19 | But she drowned their enemies, and cast them vp out of the bottome of the deepe. |
| 20 | Therefore the righteous spoiled the vngodly, & praised thy holy Name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand that fought for them. |
| 21 | For wisedome opened the mouth of the dumbe, and made the tongues of them that cannot speake, eloquent. |
