Wisdom of Solomon 10:15-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Holy people and blameless offspring
wisdom^[a] delivered from a nation of oppressors.^(A)
16 She entered the soul of a servant of the Lord
and withstood dread kings with wonders and signs.^(B)
17 She gave to holy people 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.^(C)
18 She brought them over the Red Sea
and led them through deep waters,^(D)
19 but she drowned their enemies
and cast them up from the depth of the sea.^(E)
20 Therefore the righteous plundered the ungodly;
they sang hymns, O Lord, to your holy name
and praised with one accord your defending hand,^(F)
21 for wisdom opened the mouths of those who were mute
and made the tongues of infants speak clearly.^(G)
