Wisdom 10:10-12

Good News Translation

Wisdom Protected Jacob

^10 (A)A righteous man once had to escape from his brother's anger, and Wisdom guided him in the right way. She showed him God's kingdom and allowed him to know about holy things.^[a] She made him prosperous and successful in his work. ¹¹ When others were greedy for what he had, and wanted to take it away from him, Wisdom stood by him and made him rich. ¹² She protected him from his enemies who were waiting for a chance to attack him. She gave him victory in a hard fight, so that he might realize that nothing can make a person stronger than serving God.
