Wisdom 14:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Your will is that the works of your wisdom be fruitful. This is the only reason in the end why humans can entrust their lives to cheap pieces of wood and can reach land safely by riding the breaking surf on a ship that is no more than a raft. 6 Near the beginning, at a time when proud giants were being destroyed, the hope of the world escaped on just such a raft. This was how the genetic character[a] of a new generation survived for the world to come. They were steered the whole way by your hand. 7 Praised be the wood by means of which it has now become possible for us to do what is right!
