1 Wisdom protected Adam, the father of the human race. When he was alone on earth, she kept him from sin
2 and gave him the power to rule everything.
3 But Adam's son Cain was evil, and he rejected Wisdom. Then in his anger, he destroyed himself by killing his brother.
4 When Cain's sin caused a flood, Wisdom came to the rescue, by guiding the good man Noah in that flimsy wooden boat.
5 When nations were frustrated by their own evil plans, Wisdom noticed that Abraham was a good man. So she gave him strength to obey God, though Abraham dearly loved his son Isaac.
