9
Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.
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.
11
In the covetousness 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 gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
13
When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
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.
15
She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
16
She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
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;
18
Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
19
But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
