1 Again, one preparing for a voyage and about to traverse the wild wavescries out to wood more unsound than the boat that bears him.
2 For the urge for profits devised this latter,and Wisdom the artisan produced it.
3 But your providence, O Father! guides it,for you have furnished even in the sea a road,and through the waves a steady path,
4 Showing that you can save from any danger,so that even one without skill may embark.
5 But you will that the products of your Wisdom be not idle;therefore people trust their lives even to most frail wood,and were safe crossing the waves on a raft.
