¹ [1]Wisdom guarded to the end [2]the first formed father of the world, [3]that was created alone, And delivered him out of his own transgression,

² And [4]gave him strength to get dominion over all things.

³ But [5]when an unrighteous man fell away from her in his anger, He perished himself in the rage wherewith he slew his brother.

⁴ And when for his cause [6]the earth was drowning with a flood, [7]Wisdom again saved it, Guiding [8]the righteous man's course [9]by a poor piece of wood.

⁵ Moreover, [10]when nations consenting together in wickedness had been confounded, [11]Wisdom [12]knew the righteous man, and preserved him blameless unto God, And [13]kept him strong when his heart yearned toward his child.

⁶ While [14]the ungodly were perishing, [15]wisdom delivered [16]a righteous man, When he fled from the fire that descended out of heaven [17]on [18]Pentapolis.

⁷ To whose wickedness a smoking waste still witnesseth, And plants bearing fair fruit that cometh not to ripeness; Yea and a [19]disbelieving soul hath a memorial there, [20]a pillar of salt still standing.

⁸ For having passed wisdom by, Not only were they disabled from recognising the things which are good, But they also left behind them [21]for human life a monument of their folly; To the end that [22]where they [23]went astray they might fail even to be unseen:

⁹ But wisdom delivered out of troubles those that waited on her.

¹⁰ [24]When a righteous man was a fugitive from a brother's wrath, [25]wisdom guided him in straight paths; [26]She shewed him God's kingdom, and gave him knowledge of holy things; [27]She prospered him in his toils, and multiplied the fruits of his labour;

¹¹ [28]When in their covetousness men dealt hardly with him, She stood by him and made him rich;

¹² [29]She guarded him from enemies, And from those that lay in wait she kept him safe, And [30]over his sore conflict she watched as judge, That he might know that godliness is more powerful than [31]all.

¹³ [32]When a righteous man was sold, [33]wisdom forsook him not, [34]But [35]from sin she delivered him; [36]She went down with him into a dungeon,

¹⁴ [37]And in bonds she left him not, Till she brought him the sceptre of a kingdom, And authority over those that dealt tyrannously with him; She shewed them also to be false that had mockingly accused him, And gave him eternal glory.

¹⁵ [38]Wisdom [39]delivered [40]a holy people and a blameless seed [41]from a nation of oppressors.

¹⁶ [42]She entered into the soul of [43]a servant of the Lord, And [44]withstood terrible kings [45]in wonders and signs.

¹⁷ She rendered unto holy men [46]a reward of their toils; She guided them along a marvellous way, [47]And became unto them a covering in the day-time, And a flame of stars through the night.

¹⁸ [48]She brought them over the Red sea, And led them through much water;

¹⁹ [49]But their enemies she drowned, And out of the bottom of the deep she cast them up.

²⁰ [50]Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly; [51]And they sang praise to thy holy name, O Lord, And extolled with one accord thy hand that fought for them:

²¹ Because wisdom opened [52]the mouth of the dumb, And made [53]the tongues of babes [54]to speak clearly.
