Wisdom 10:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 She preserved him from foes,
and secured him against ambush,
And she gave him the prize for his hard struggle
that he might know that devotion to God[a] is mightier than all else.(A)
13 She did not abandon a righteous man[b] when he was sold,(B)
but rescued him from sin.(C)
14 She went down with him into the dungeon,
and did not desert him in his bonds,
Until she brought him the scepter of royalty
and authority over his oppressors,
Proved false those who had defamed him,
and gave him eternal glory.
