Wisdom 10:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

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.]

⁴ For which thing when the water did away the earth, wisdom healed (it) again; governing a just [or the rightwise] man by a despisable tree.
