10. When a righteous man was a fugitive from a brother’s wrath, wisdom guided him in straight paths; She showed him God’s kingdom, and gave him knowledge of holy things; She prospered him in his toils, and multiplied the fruits of his labor;
11. When in their covetousness men dealt hardly with him, She stood by him and made him rich;
12. She guarded him from enemies, And from those that lay in wait she kept him safe, And over his sore conflict she watched as judge, That he might know that godliness is more powerful than all.
13. When a righteous man was sold, wisdom forsook him not, But from sin she delivered him; She went down with him into a dungeon,
14. And in bonds she left him not, Till she brought him the sceptre of a kingdom, And authority over those that dealt tyrannously with him; She showed them also to be false that had mockingly accused him, And gave him eternal glory.
15. Wisdom delivered a holy people and a blameless seed from a nation of oppressors.
16. She entered into the soul of a servant of the Lord, And withstood terrible kings in wonders and signs.
