1 This is he, who was formed first by God, the father of the world, who was alone when created; she preserved him,
2 and led him out of his offense, and gave him the power to maintain all things.
3 After this, when the unjust man withdrew from her in his anger, he perished through anger by the murder of his brother.
4 Because of this, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, guiding the just by means of contemptible wood.
5 Moreover, when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame before God, and preserved his strength out of mercy for his sons.
