Wisdom 10:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ A holy people and blameless race
wisdom^[a] delivered from a nation of oppressors.
¹⁶ She entered the soul of a servant of the Lord,
and withstood dread kings with wonders and signs.
¹⁷ She gave holy men the reward of their labors;
she guided them along a marvelous way,
and became a shelter to them by day,
and a starry flame through the night.
