Wisdom 10:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 She, when the nations were sunk in universal wickedness,
knew the righteous man,[a] kept him blameless before God,
and preserved him resolute against pity for his child.(A)
6 She rescued a righteous man[b] from among the wicked who were being destroyed,(B)
when he fled as fire descended upon the Pentapolis—
7 Where as a testimony to its wickedness,
even yet there remain a smoking desert,
Plants bearing fruit that never ripens,
and the tomb of a disbelieving soul,[c] a standing pillar of salt.(C)
