1 Wisdom kept watch over the world’s first-formed parent, when he alone had been created. She delivered him from his grave misstep.
2 Wisdom gave him the strength to have dominion over everything.
3 When a wicked man disregarded Wisdom in his anger, he perished along with his desire to murder his brother.
4 Because of him, the earth was flooded. Wisdom again came to the rescue. She took a man who did what was right and steered him straight on a vessel made of cheap wood.
