The Wisdom of Solomon 10:9-12

[9] Wisdom rescued from troubles those who served her.

[10] When a righteous man fled from his brother's wrath,
she guided him on straight paths;
she showed him the kingdom of God,
and gave him knowledge of angels;
she prospered him in his labors,
and increased the fruit of his toil.
[11] When his oppressors were covetous,
she stood by him and made him rich.
[12] She protected him from his enemies,
and kept him safe from those who lay in wait for him;
in his arduous contest she gave him the victory,
so that he might learn that godliness is more
powerful than anything.
