Wisdom 14:3-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 [a]But your providence, O Father! guides it,
for you have furnished even in the sea a road,
and through the waves a steady path,(A)
4 Showing that you can save from any danger,
so that even one without skill may embark.(B)
5 But you will that the products of your Wisdom be not idle;
therefore people trust their lives even to most frail wood,
and were safe crossing the waves on a raft.(C)
6 For of old, when the proud giants were being destroyed,
the hope of the universe, who took refuge on a raft,[b]
left to the world a future for the human family, under the guidance of your hand.
