17 Wisdom rewarded those holy people for their hardships and guided them in a wonderful way, providing shade for them during the day and starlight at night.
18 She brought them safely through the Red Sea,
19 but she drowned their enemies and washed their bodies up on the shore.
20 So your obedient people took the possessions of those ungodly people. Then they sang praises to your holy name and praised you for protecting them,
21 because Wisdom healed those who could not talk and helped infants to speak clearly.
