Wisdom 10:3-5

Common English Bible

³ When a wicked man disregarded Wisdom in his anger, he perished along with his desire to murder his brother. ⁴ Because of him, the earth was flooded. Wisdom again came to the rescue. She took a man who did what was right and steered him straight on a vessel made of cheap wood.

⁵ When the peoples of the world were thrown into confusion by the combined force of their wickedness, Wisdom found one who did what was right and kept him pure before God. She even kept him strong when he would have been swayed by compassion for his child.
