Wisdom 10:1-3

Wycliffe Bible

10 This wisdom of God kept him, that was formed first of God, the father of the world, when he alone was made (out) of nought. And this wisdom led him out of his trespass, and led him [or brought him] out of the slime of the earth,

² and gave to him virtue (or power) to hold together all things, that is, gave to him the lordship over all lower things.

³ As the unjust man in his ire went away from this wisdom, brotherhood perished by the ire of man-quelling. [From this as the unrightwise went away in his wrath, by the wrath of manslaughter perished fraternity.]
