Wisdom of Solomon (English) in: Near East – Hebrew
10:4 When the earth was flooded because of him, wisdom again saved it,
steering the righteous man by a paltry piece of wood.
(…)
14:5 It is your will that works of your wisdom should not be without effect;
therefore people trust their lives even to the smallest piece of wood,
and passing through the billows on a raft they come safely to land.
6 For even in the beginning, when arrogant giants were perishing,
the hope of the world took refuge on a raft,
and guided by your hand left to the world the seed of a new generation.
7 For blessed is the wood by which righteousness comes.
