Wisdom 10:3 In-Context

1 Wisdom protected the father of the world, the first man that was ever formed, when he alone had been created. She saved him from his own sinful act
2 and gave him the strength to master everything on earth.
3 But there was an unrighteous man who abandoned Wisdom; he destroyed himself by killing his brother in a fit of anger.
4 Because of that sin, the earth was flooded, but Wisdom saved it again. She guided a righteous man in his flimsy wooden boat.
