Wisdom 14:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ But that the works of thy wisdom might not be idle: therefore men also trust their lives even to a little wood, and passing over the sea by ship are saved.

⁶ And from the beginning also when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation.

⁷ For blessed is the wood, by which justice cometh.
