Wisdom of Solomon 10:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

10 Wisdom^[a] protected the first-formed father of the world,
when he alone had been created;
she delivered him from his transgression^(A)
2 and gave him strength to rule all things.^(B)
3 But when an unrighteous man departed from her in his anger,
he perished because in rage he killed his brother.^(C)
