10 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)

4When the earth was flooded because of him, wisdom again saved it,
steering the righteous man by a paltry piece of wood.
Noah. Wis.10.4
5Wisdom also, when the nations in wicked agreement had been confounded,
recognized the righteous man and preserved him blameless before God,
and kept him strong in the face of his compassion for his child.
 
6Wisdom rescued a righteous man when the ungodly were perishing;
he escaped the fire that descended on the Five Cities.
Lot. Wis.10.6-9
7Evidence of their wickedness still remains:
a continually smoking wasteland,
plants bearing fruit that does not ripen,
and a pillar of salt standing as a monument to an unbelieving soul.
 
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;
she prospered him in his labours,
and increased the fruit of his toil.
Jacob. Wis.10.10-12
11When his oppressors were covetous,
she stood by him and made him rich.
 
12She protected him from his enemies,
and kept him safe from those who lay in wait for him;
in his arduous contest she gave him the victory,
so that he might learn that godliness is more powerful than anything.
 
13When a righteous man was sold, wisdom did not desert him,
but delivered him from sin.
She descended with him into the dungeon,
Joseph. Wis.10.13-14
14and when he was in prison she did not leave him,
until she brought him the scepter of a kingdom and authority over his masters.
Those who accused him she showed to be false,
and she gave him everlasting honour.
