Wisdom 14:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ It is thy will that works of thy wisdom should not be without effect;
therefore men trust their lives even to the smallest piece of wood,
and passing through the billows on a raft they come safely to land.
⁶ For even in the beginning, when arrogant giants were perishing,
the hope of the world took refuge on a raft,
and guided by thy hand left to the world the seed of a new generation.
⁷ For blessed is the wood by which righteousness comes.
