Wisdom 10:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸For because they passed wisdom by,
they not only were hindered from recognizing the good,
but also left for mankind a reminder of their folly,
so that their failures could never go unnoticed.

⁹Wisdom rescued from troubles those who served her.
¹⁰When 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;^[a]
she prospered him in his labors,
and increased the fruit of his toil.
