6 She rescued a righteous man from among the wicked who were being destroyed,when he fled as fire descended upon the Pentapolis—
7 Where as a testimony to its wickedness,even yet there remain a smoking desert,Plants bearing fruit that never ripens,and the tomb of a disbelieving soul, a standing pillar of salt.
8 For those who forsook Wisdomnot only were deprived of knowledge of the good,But also left the world a memorial of their folly,so that they could not even be hidden in their fall.
9 But Wisdom rescued from tribulations those who served her.
10 She, when a righteous man fled from his brother’s anger,guided him in right ways,Showed him the kingdom of Godand gave him knowledge of holy things;She prospered him in his laborsand made abundant the fruit of his works,
11 Stood by him against the greed of his defrauders,and enriched him;
12 She preserved him from foes,and secured him against ambush,And she gave him the prize for his hard strugglethat he might know that devotion to God is mightier than all else.
