CHAP. X.
The deliuerance of the righteous and destruction of the enemies
commeth through wisdome.
1 She preserued the first father of the world, that
was formed, and kept him when he was created
alone, and brought him out of his offence,
2 And note gaue him power to rule all things,
3 noteBut the vnrighteous in his wrath departed
from her, and perished by killing his brother in
his furie.
4 For whose cause the note earth was ouerflowen,
but wisdome preserued it againe, gouerning the
iust man by a litle wood.
5 Moreouer, note when the nations were ioyned in
their malicious confederacies, she knew the righteous,
& preserued him faultles vnto God, and note kept
him sure, because she loued him tenderly as a sonne.
6 She preserued the righteous, note when the vngodly
perished, when he fled from the fire that fell
downe vpon the fiue cities.
7 Of whose wickednes the waste land that smoketh,
yet giueth testimonie, and the trees that beare
fruite that neuer commeth to ripenes: and for a remembrance
of the vnfaithfull soule, there standeth
a pillar of salte.
8 For al such as regarded not wisdome, had not
only this hurt, that they knew not the things which
were good, but also left behinde them vnto men a
memoriall of their foolishnes, so that in the things
wherein they sinned, they can not lie hid.
9 But wisdome deliuered them that serued her.
10 noteWhen the righteous fled because of his
brothers wrath, she led him the right way, shewed
him the kingdome of God, gaue him knowledge
of holy things, made him rich in his labours, and
made his paines profitable.
11 Against the couetousnes of such as defrauded
him, she stood by him and made him rich.
12 She saued him from the enemies, & defended
him from them, that lay in waite, & she gaue him
the price in a mightie battell, that he might know
that the feare of God is stronger then all things.
13 noteWhen the righteous was solde, she forsooke
him not, but deliuered him from sinne: she
went downe with him into the dungeon,
14 And failed him not in the bands, till she had
brought him the scepter of the realme, and power
against those that oppressed him, and them that had
accused him, she declared to be liars, and gaue him
perpetuall glory.
15 noteShe deliuered the righteous people & faultles
seede from the nations that oppressed them.
16 She entred into the soule of the seruant of
the Lord, and stood note by him in wonders & signes
-- --
against the terrible Kings.
17 She gaue the Saints the rewarde of their labours,
and led them foorth a marueilous way: on
the day time she was a shadowe vnto them, and a
light of starres in the night.
18 noteShe brought them thorow the red sea, and
caried them through the great water:
19 But she drowned their enemies, & brought
them out of the bottome of the deepe.
20 So the righteous tooke the spoyles of the vngodly,
note and praysed thine holy Name, O Lord, and
magnified thy victorious hand with one accord.
21 For wisdome openeth the mouth of the
dombe, and maketh the tongues of babes eloquent.
