Wisdom 14:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 It is your will that the works of your Wisdom should not be sterile;
thus men entrust their lives even to the most fragile wood,
and they safely reach land even after sailing through the waves on a raft.
6 For in the beginning, when arrogant giants were being destroyed,
the hope of the world took refuge on a raft[a]
and, guided by your hand, bequeathed to the world the seed of a new generation.
7 For blessed is the wood through which a righteous work is accomplished,[b]
