Wisdom 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 She preseved him, that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created alone,	1 She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,
2 And she brought him out of his sin, and gave him power to govern all things.	2 And gave him power to rule all things.
3 But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.	3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
4 For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood.	4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.
5 Moreover when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son.	5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.
6 She delivered the just man who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:	6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.
7 Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.	7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.
8 For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.	8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.
9 But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.	9 Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.
10 She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours.	10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.
11 In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.	11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.
12 She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.	12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
13 She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.	13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
14 And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.	14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
15 She delivered the just people, and blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.	15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
16 She entered into the soul of the servant of God, and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs.	16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
17 And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night:	17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
18 And she brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water.	18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
19 But their enemies she drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked.	19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
20 And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand.	20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.
21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of infants eloquent.	21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
