6
She delivered the just man who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:
7
Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.
8
For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.
9
But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.
10
She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours.
11
In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.
12
She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.
13
She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.
14
And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.
15
She delivered the just people, and blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.
16
She entered into the soul of the servant of God, and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs.
