Wisdom 10:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 10[a]
Wisdom Preserves Her Followers
1 She preserved the first-formed father[b] of the world(A)
when he alone had been created;(B)
And she raised him up from his fall,
2 and gave him power to rule all things.(C)
3 But when an unrighteous man[c] withdrew from her in his anger,
he perished through his fratricidal wrath.(D)
