Wisdom 10 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1885, 1895(RV1895)

1 Wisdom guarded to the end Wisdom wisdom delivered Pentapolis.

7To whose wickedness a smoking waste still witnesseth,

And plants bearing fair fruit that cometh not to ripeness;

Yea and a disbelieving soul hath a memorial there, for human life a monument of their folly;

To the end that where they went astray they might fail even to be unseen:

9But wisdom delivered out of troubles those that waited on her.

10 wisdom guided him in straight paths;

all.

13 wisdom forsook him not,

from sin she delivered him;

Wisdom Ex. 1.12 & 12.41.delivered ch. 18.1.a holy people and a blameless seed See Ex. 1.11-14.from a nation of oppressors.

16 Cp. Ex. 3.12. She entered into the soul of Ex. 14.31. Num. 12.7. Deut. 34.5, al.a servant of the Lord,

And Ex. 5.1 & 7.10,16. Ps. 105.26,27,30.withstood terrible kings ch. 8.8.in wonders and signs.

17She rendered unto holy men Cp. Ex. 12.35,36.a reward of their toils;

She guided them along a marvellous way,

See Ex. 13.21. And became unto them a covering in the day-time,

And a flame of stars through the night.

18 See Ex. 14.21,22. She brought them over the Red sea,

And led them through much water;

19 ch. 18.5. See Ex. 14.27. But their enemies she drowned,

And out of the bottom of the deep she cast them up.

20 Ex. 12.36. Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly;

See Ex. 15.1-18. And they sang praise to thy holy name, O Lord,

And extolled with one accord thy hand that fought for them:

21Because wisdom opened Cp. Ex. 4.10.the mouth of the dumb,

And made Cp. Ps. 8.2 & Mat. 21.16.the tongues of babes Cp. ch. 7.22.to speak clearly.
