Wisdom 10:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ For by forsaking Wisdom
    they not only lost the ability to recognize what is good,
but also bequeathed to humanity a reminder of their folly
    so that their offenses might never be forgotten.

⁹ But Wisdom rescued from tribulations
    those who served her.
¹⁰ When the righteous man was fleeing from the anger of his brother,
    she steered him to straight paths.
She showed him the kingdom of God
    and bestowed upon him a knowledge of holy things.
She gave success to his labors
    and multiplied the fruit of his work.
