13 There was once a righteous man who was sold into slavery, but Wisdom did not abandon him. She kept him safe from sin. She went to prison with him
14 and never left him until she had given him power over an empire and made him the ruler of people who had once oppressed him. She let it be known that a false accusation had been made against him, and she gave him eternal honour.
15 Wisdom once rescued an innocent and holy people from a nation of oppressors.
16 She entered the soul of one of God's servants and stood up to dreaded kings by performing miracles.
17 She rewarded God's people for their hardships. She guided them on a miraculous journey. She gave them shade during the day and brilliant starlight at night.
18 She led them through the deep waters of the Red Sea,
19 but she drowned their enemies and washed their bodies up on the shore.
