WIS 1:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nothing: and the mouth that belies slays the soul.
WIS 1:12 Removed trailing space in v~: Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.
WIS 1:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For God made not death: neither has he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
WIS 1:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
WIS 1:15 Removed trailing space in v~: (For righteousness is immortal:)
WIS 1:16 Removed trailing space in v~: But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nothing, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

WIS 2:0 Removed trailing space in c: 2
WIS 2:1 Removed trailing space in v~: For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
WIS 2:2 Removed trailing space in v~: For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
WIS 2:3 Removed trailing space in v~: Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
WIS 2:4 Removed trailing space in v~: And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
WIS 2:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For our time is a very shadow that passes away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man comes again.
WIS 2:6 Removed trailing space in v~: Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
WIS 2:7 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
WIS 2:8 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
WIS 2:9 Removed trailing space in v~: Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
WIS 2:10 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient grey hairs of the aged.
WIS 2:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.
WIS 2:12 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraids us with our offending the law, and objects to our infamy the transgressings of our education.
WIS 2:13 Removed trailing space in v~: He professes to have the knowledge of God: and he calls himself the child of the Lord.
WIS 2:14 Removed trailing space in v~: He was made to reprove our thoughts.
WIS 2:15 Removed trailing space in v~: He is grievous to us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion.
WIS 2:16 Removed trailing space in v~: We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstains from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounces the end of the just to be blessed, and makes his boast that God is his father.
WIS 2:17 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.
WIS 2:18 Removed trailing space in v~: For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.
WIS 2:19 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.
WIS 2:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.
WIS 2:21 Removed trailing space in v~: Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness has blinded them.
WIS 2:22 Removed trailing space in v~: As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.
WIS 2:23 Removed trailing space in v~: For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
WIS 2:24 Removed trailing space in v~: Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

WIS 3:1 Removed trailing space in v~: But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
WIS 3:2 Removed trailing space in v~: In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
WIS 3:3 Removed trailing space in v~: And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
WIS 3:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
WIS 3:5 Removed trailing space in v~: And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
WIS 3:6 Removed trailing space in v~: As gold in the furnace has he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
WIS 3:7 Removed trailing space in v~: And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks amongst the stubble.

WIS 3:10 Removed trailing space in v~: But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
WIS 3:11 Removed trailing space in v~: For whoso despises wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:
WIS 3:12 Removed trailing space in v~: Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:
WIS 3:13 Removed trailing space in v~: Their offspring is cursed. Therefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which has not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.
WIS 3:14 Removed trailing space in v~: And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands has wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for to him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.
WIS 3:15 Removed trailing space in v~: For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.
WIS 3:16 Removed trailing space in v~: As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.
WIS 3:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.
WIS 3:18 Removed trailing space in v~: Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.
WIS 3:19 Removed trailing space in v~: For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

WIS 4:0 Removed trailing space in c: 4
WIS 4:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue: for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is known with God, and with men.
WIS 4:2 Removed trailing space in v~: When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it wears a crown, and triumphs for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.
WIS 4:3 Removed trailing space in v~: But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.
WIS 4:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.
WIS 4:5 Removed trailing space in v~: The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yes, meet for nothing.
WIS 4:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For children begotten of unlawful beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.
WIS 4:7 Removed trailing space in v~: But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.
WIS 4:8 Removed trailing space in v~: For honourable age is not that which stands in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.
WIS 4:9 Removed trailing space in v~: But wisdom is the grey hair to men, and an unspotted life is old age.
WIS 4:10 Removed trailing space in v~: He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living amongst sinners he was translated.
WIS 4:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Yes speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit decieve his soul.
WIS 4:12 Removed trailing space in v~: For the bewitching of naughtiness does obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence does undermine the simple mind.
WIS 4:13 Removed trailing space in v~: He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time:
WIS 4:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from amongst the wicked.
WIS 4:15 Removed trailing space in v~: This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he has respect to his chosen.
WIS 4:16 Removed trailing space in v~: Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
WIS 4:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel has decreed of him, and to what end the Lord has set him in safety.
WIS 4:18 Removed trailing space in v~: They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach amongst the dead for evermore.
WIS 4:19 Removed trailing space in v~: For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.

WIS 5:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.
WIS 5:2 Removed trailing space in v~: When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for.
WIS 5:3 Removed trailing space in v~: And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:
WIS 5:4 Removed trailing space in v~: We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour:
WIS 5:5 Removed trailing space in v~: How is he numbered amongst the children of God, and his lot is amongst the saints!
WIS 5:6 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness has not shined to us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.
WIS 5:7 Removed trailing space in v~: We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: yes, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it.
WIS 5:8 Removed trailing space in v~: What has pride profited us? or what good has riches with our vaunting brought us?
WIS 5:9 Removed trailing space in v~: All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
WIS 5:10 Removed trailing space in v~: And as a ship that passes over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof can’t be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;
WIS 5:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Or as when a bird has flown through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no sign where she went is to be found;
WIS 5:12 Removed trailing space in v~: Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parts the air, which immediately comes together again, so that a man can’t know where it went through:
WIS 5:13 Removed trailing space in v~: Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to show; but were consumed in our own wickedness.
WIS 5:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passes away as the remembrance of a guest that waits but a day.
WIS 5:15 Removed trailing space in v~: But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.
WIS 5:16 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
WIS 5:17 Removed trailing space in v~: He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.
WIS 5:18 Removed trailing space in v~: He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgement instead of an helmet.
WIS 5:19 Removed trailing space in v~: He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.
WIS 5:20 Removed trailing space in v~: His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.
WIS 5:21 Removed trailing space in v~: Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.
WIS 5:22 Removed trailing space in v~: And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
WIS 5:23 Removed trailing space in v~: Yes, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.

WIS 6:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Hear therefore, O you° kings, and understand; learn, you° that be judges of the ends of the earth.
WIS 6:2 Removed trailing space in v~: Give ear, you° that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.
WIS 6:3 Removed trailing space in v~: For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.
WIS 6:4 Removed trailing space in v~: Because, being ministers of his kingdom, you° have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;
WIS 6:5 Removed trailing space in v~: Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgement shall be to them that be in high places.
WIS 6:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For mercy will soon pardon the lowly, but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
WIS 6:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he has made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
WIS 6:8 Removed trailing space in v~: But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.
WIS 6:9 Removed trailing space in v~: To you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that you° may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
WIS 6:10 Removed trailing space in v~: For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learnt such things shall find what to answer.
WIS 6:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and you° shall be instructed.
WIS 6:12 Removed trailing space in v~: Wisdom is glorious, and never fades away: yes, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
WIS 6:13 Removed trailing space in v~: She prevents them that desire her, in making herself first known to them.
WIS 6:14 Removed trailing space in v~: Whoso seeks her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
WIS 6:15 Removed trailing space in v~: To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watches for her shall quickly be without care.
WIS 6:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For she goes about seeking such as are worthy of her, shows herself favourably to them in the ways, and meets them in every thought.
WIS 6:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
WIS 6:18 Removed trailing space in v~: And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed to her laws is the assurance of incorruption;
WIS 6:19 Removed trailing space in v~: And incorruption makes us near to God:
WIS 6:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore the desire of wisdom brings to a kingdom.
WIS 6:21 Removed trailing space in v~: If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O you° kings of the people, honour wisdom, that you° may reign for evermore.
WIS 6:22 Removed trailing space in v~: As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.
WIS 6:23 Removed trailing space in v~: Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
WIS 6:24 Removed trailing space in v~: But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
WIS 6:25 Removed trailing space in v~: Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

WIS 7:1 Removed trailing space in v~: I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
WIS 7:2 Removed trailing space in v~: And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.
WIS 7:3 Removed trailing space in v~: And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
WIS 7:4 Removed trailing space in v~: I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.
WIS 7:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.
WIS 7:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
WIS 7:7 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
WIS 7:8 Removed trailing space in v~: I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
WIS 7:9 Removed trailing space in v~: Neither compared I to her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.
WIS 7:10 Removed trailing space in v~: I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that comes from her never goes out.
WIS 7:11 Removed trailing space in v~: All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
WIS 7:12 Removed trailing space in v~: And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goes before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.
WIS 7:13 Removed trailing space in v~: I learnt diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.
WIS 7:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For she is a treasure to men that never fails: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.
WIS 7:15 Removed trailing space in v~: God has granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leads to wisdom, and directs the wise.
WIS 7:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.
WIS 7:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For he has given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:
WIS 7:18 Removed trailing space in v~: The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons:
WIS 7:19 Removed trailing space in v~: The circuits of years, and the positions of stars:
WIS 7:20 Removed trailing space in v~: The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts: the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men: the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots:
WIS 7:21 Removed trailing space in v~: And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know.
WIS 7:22 Removed trailing space in v~: For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtle, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which can’t be letted, ready to do good,
WIS 7:23 Removed trailing space in v~: Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtle, spirits.
WIS 7:24 Removed trailing space in v~: For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passes and goes through all things by reason of her pureness.
WIS 7:25 Removed trailing space in v~: For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
WIS 7:26 Removed trailing space in v~: For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.
WIS 7:27 Removed trailing space in v~: And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she makes all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she makes them friends of God, and prophets.
WIS 7:28 Removed trailing space in v~: For God loves none but him that dwells with wisdom.
WIS 7:29 Removed trailing space in v~: For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
WIS 7:30 Removed trailing space in v~: For after this comes night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.

WIS 8:1 Removed trailing space in v~: \add Wisdom\add* reaches from one end to another mightily: and sweetly does she order all things.
WIS 8:2 Removed trailing space in v~: I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.
WIS 8:3 Removed trailing space in v~: In that she is conversant with God, she magnifies her nobility: yes, the Lord of all things himself loved her.
WIS 8:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
WIS 8:5 Removed trailing space in v~: If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that works all things?
WIS 8:6 Removed trailing space in v~: And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
WIS 8:7 Removed trailing space in v~: And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teaches temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.
WIS 8:8 Removed trailing space in v~: If a man desire much experience, she knows things of old, and conjectures aright what is to come: she knows the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foresees signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
WIS 8:9 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.
WIS 8:10 Removed trailing space in v~: For her sake I shall have estimation amongst the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.
WIS 8:11 Removed trailing space in v~: I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgement, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
WIS 8:12 Removed trailing space in v~: When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear to me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.
WIS 8:13 Removed trailing space in v~: Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.
WIS 8:14 Removed trailing space in v~: I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject to me.
WIS 8:15 Removed trailing space in v~: Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good amongst the multitude, and valiant in war.
WIS 8:16 Removed trailing space in v~: After I am come into my house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation has no bitterness; and to live with her has no sorrow, but mirth and joy.
WIS 8:17 Removed trailing space in v~: Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied to wisdom is immortality;
WIS 8:18 Removed trailing space in v~: And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.
WIS 8:19 Removed trailing space in v~: For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.
WIS 8:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Yes rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.
WIS 8:21 Removed trailing space in v~: Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed to the Lord, and implored him, and with my whole heart I said,

WIS 9:1 Removed trailing space in v~: O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who have made all things with your word,
WIS 9:2 Removed trailing space in v~: And ordained man through your wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which you have made,
WIS 9:3 Removed trailing space in v~: And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgement with an upright heart:
WIS 9:4 Removed trailing space in v~: Give me wisdom, that sits by your throne; and reject me not from amongst your children:
WIS 9:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For I your servant and son of your handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgement and laws.
WIS 9:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For though a man be never so perfect amongst the children of men, yet if your wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
WIS 9:7 Removed trailing space in v~: You have chosen me to be a king of your people, and a judge of your sons and daughters:
WIS 9:8 Removed trailing space in v~: You have commanded me to build a temple upon your holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein you dwell, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which you have prepared from the beginning.
WIS 9:9 Removed trailing space in v~: And wisdom was with you: which knows your works, and was present when you made the world, and knew what was acceptable in your sight, and right in your commandments.
WIS 9:10 Removed trailing space in v~: O send her out of your holy heavens, and from the throne of your glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing to you.
WIS 9:11 Removed trailing space in v~: For she knows and understands all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
WIS 9:12 Removed trailing space in v~: So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge your people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.
WIS 9:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
WIS 9:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
WIS 9:15 Removed trailing space in v~: For the corruptible body presses down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weighs down the mind that muses upon many things.
WIS 9:16 Removed trailing space in v~: And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who has searched out?
WIS 9:17 Removed trailing space in v~: And your counsel who has known, except you give wisdom, and send your Holy Spirit from above?
WIS 9:18 Removed trailing space in v~: For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing to you, and were saved through wisdom.

WIS 10:1 Removed trailing space in v~: She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,
WIS 10:2 Removed trailing space in v~: And gave him power to rule all things.
WIS 10:3 Removed trailing space in v~: But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
WIS 10:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.
WIS 10:5 Removed trailing space in v~: Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless to God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion towards his son.
WIS 10:6 Removed trailing space in v~: When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.
WIS 10:7 Removed trailing space in v~: Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smokes is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.
WIS 10:8 Removed trailing space in v~: For regarding not wisdom, they got not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.
WIS 10:9 Removed trailing space in v~: But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.
WIS 10:10 Removed trailing space in v~: When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, showed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.
WIS 10:11 Removed trailing space in v~: In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.
WIS 10:12 Removed trailing space in v~: She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
WIS 10:13 Removed trailing space in v~: When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
WIS 10:14 Removed trailing space in v~: And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she showed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
WIS 10:15 Removed trailing space in v~: She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
WIS 10:16 Removed trailing space in v~: She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
WIS 10:17 Removed trailing space in v~: Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was to them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
WIS 10:18 Removed trailing space in v~: Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
WIS 10:19 Removed trailing space in v~: But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
WIS 10:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised your holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord your hand, that fought for them.
WIS 10:21 Removed trailing space in v~: For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that can’t speak eloquent.

WIS 11:1 Removed trailing space in v~: She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.
WIS 11:2 Removed trailing space in v~: They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.
WIS 11:3 Removed trailing space in v~: They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.
WIS 11:4 Removed trailing space in v~: When they were thirsty, they called upon you, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.
WIS 11:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefitted.
WIS 11:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
WIS 11:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, you gave to them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:
WIS 11:8 Removed trailing space in v~: Declaring by that thirst then how you had punished their adversaries.
WIS 11:9 Removed trailing space in v~: For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
WIS 11:10 Removed trailing space in v~: For these you did admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, you did condemn and punish.
WIS 11:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.
WIS 11:12 Removed trailing space in v~: For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.
WIS 11:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefitted, they had some feeling of the Lord.
WIS 11:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.
WIS 11:15 Removed trailing space in v~: But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, you did send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance;
WIS 11:16 Removed trailing space in v~: That they might know, that wherewithal a man sins, by the same also shall he be punished.
WIS 11:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For your Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send amongst them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,
WIS 11:18 Removed trailing space in v~: Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:
WIS 11:19 Removed trailing space in v~: Whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.
WIS 11:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Yes, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of your power: but you have ordered all things in measure and number and weight.
WIS 11:21 Removed trailing space in v~: For you can show your great strength at all times when you will; and who may withstand the power of your arm?
WIS 11:22 Removed trailing space in v~: For the whole world before you is as a little grain of the balance, yes, as a drop of the morning dew that falls down upon the earth.
WIS 11:23 Removed trailing space in v~: But you have mercy upon all; for you can do all things, and wink at the sins of men, because they should amend.
WIS 11:24 Removed trailing space in v~: For you love all the things that are, and abhor nothing which you have made: for never would you have made any thing, if you had hated it.
WIS 11:25 Removed trailing space in v~: And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been your will? or been preserved, if not called by you?
WIS 11:26 Removed trailing space in v~: But you spare all: for they are your, O Lord, you lover of souls.

WIS 12:1 Removed trailing space in v~: For your incorruptible Spirit is in all things.
WIS 12:2 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore chasten you them by little and little that offend, and warn them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on you, O Lord.
WIS 12:3 Removed trailing space in v~: For it was your will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of your holy land,
WIS 12:4 Removed trailing space in v~: Whom you hated for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;
WIS 12:5 Removed trailing space in v~: And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood,
WIS 12:6 Removed trailing space in v~: With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help:
WIS 12:7 Removed trailing space in v~: That the land, which you esteemed above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God's children.
WIS 12:8 Removed trailing space in v~: Nevertheless even those you spared as men, and did send wasps, forerunners of your host, to destroy them by little and little.
WIS 12:9 Removed trailing space in v~: Not that you were unable to bring the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word:
WIS 12:10 Removed trailing space in v~: But executing your judgements upon them by little and little, you gave them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.
WIS 12:11 Removed trailing space in v~: For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither did you for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned.
WIS 12:12 Removed trailing space in v~: For who shall say, What have you done? or who shall withstand your judgement? or who shall accuse you for the nations that perish, whom you made? or who shall come to stand against you, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?
WIS 12:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For neither is there any God but you that careth for all, to whom you might show that your judgement is not unright.
WIS 12:14 Removed trailing space in v~: Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against you for any whom you have punished.
WIS 12:15 Removed trailing space in v~: Forsomuch then as you are righteous yourself, you order all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with your power to condemn him that has not deserved to be punished.
WIS 12:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For your power is the beginning of righteousness, and because you are the Lord of all, it makes you to be gracious to all.
WIS 12:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For when men will not believe that you are of a full power, you show your strength, and amongst them that know it you make their boldness manifest.
WIS 12:18 Removed trailing space in v~: But you, mastering your power, judge with equity, and order us with great favour: for you may use power when you will.
WIS 12:19 Removed trailing space in v~: But by such works have you taught your people that the just man should be merciful, and have made your children to be of a good hope that you give repentance for sins.
WIS 12:20 Removed trailing space in v~: For if you did punish the enemies of your children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:
WIS 12:21 Removed trailing space in v~: With how great circumspection did you judge your own sons, to whose fathers you have sworn, and made covenants of good promises?
WIS 12:22 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore, whereas you do chasten us, you scourge our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of your goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.
WIS 12:23 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and unrighteously, you have tormented them with their own abominations.
WIS 12:24 Removed trailing space in v~: For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even amongst the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.
WIS 12:25 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore to them, as to children without the use of reason, you did send a judgement to mock them.
WIS 12:26 Removed trailing space in v~: But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgement worthy of God.
WIS 12:27 Removed trailing space in v~: For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; \add now\add* being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

WIS 13:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;
WIS 13:2 Removed trailing space in v~: But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world.
WIS 13:3 Removed trailing space in v~: With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty has created them.
WIS 13:4 Removed trailing space in v~: But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them.
WIS 13:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.
WIS 13:6 Removed trailing space in v~: But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they perhaps err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.
WIS 13:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.
WIS 13:8 Removed trailing space in v~: Howbeit neither are they to be pardoned.
WIS 13:9 Removed trailing space in v~: For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof?
WIS 13:10 Removed trailing space in v~: But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men's hands, gold and silver, to show are in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.
WIS 13:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Now a carpenter that fells timber, after he has sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and has wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;
WIS 13:12 Removed trailing space in v~: And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, has filled himself;
WIS 13:13 Removed trailing space in v~: And taking the very refuse amongst those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, has carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;
WIS 13:14 Removed trailing space in v~: Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot therein;
WIS 13:15 Removed trailing space in v~: And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:
WIS 13:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and has need of help:
WIS 13:17 Removed trailing space in v~: Then makes he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which has no life.
WIS 13:18 Removed trailing space in v~: For health he calls upon that which is weak: for life prays to that which is dead; for aid humbly implores that which has least means to help: and for a good journey he asks of that which can’t set a foot forward:
WIS 13:19 Removed trailing space in v~: And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asks ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

WIS 14:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calls upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carries him.
WIS 14:2 Removed trailing space in v~: For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.
WIS 14:3 Removed trailing space in v~: But your providence, O Father, governs it: for you have made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;
WIS 14:4 Removed trailing space in v~: Shewing that you can save from all danger: yes, though a man went to sea without are.
WIS 14:5 Removed trailing space in v~: Nevertheless you would not that the works of your wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.
WIS 14:6 Removed trailing space in v~: For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by your hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
WIS 14:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness comes.
WIS 14:8 Removed trailing space in v~: But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.
WIS 14:9 Removed trailing space in v~: For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful to God.
WIS 14:10 Removed trailing space in v~: For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.
WIS 14:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumbling blocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
WIS 14:12 Removed trailing space in v~: For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
WIS 14:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
WIS 14:14 Removed trailing space in v~: For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
WIS 14:15 Removed trailing space in v~: For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he has made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
WIS 14:16 Removed trailing space in v~: Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.
WIS 14:17 Removed trailing space in v~: Whom men could not honour in presence, because they lived far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.
WIS 14:18 Removed trailing space in v~: Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.
WIS 14:19 Removed trailing space in v~: For he, perhaps willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.
WIS 14:20 Removed trailing space in v~: And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.
WIS 14:21 Removed trailing space in v~: And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe to stones and stocks the incommunicable name.
WIS 14:22 Removed trailing space in v~: Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.
WIS 14:23 Removed trailing space in v~: For while they killed their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;
WIS 14:24 Removed trailing space in v~: They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one killed another traitorously, or grieved him by adultery.
WIS 14:25 Removed trailing space in v~: So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,
WIS 14:26 Removed trailing space in v~: Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
WIS 14:27 Removed trailing space in v~: For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
WIS 14:28 Removed trailing space in v~: For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.
WIS 14:29 Removed trailing space in v~: For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.
WIS 14:30 Removed trailing space in v~: Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.
WIS 14:31 Removed trailing space in v~: For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punishes always the offence of the ungodly.

WIS 15:1 Removed trailing space in v~: But you, O God, are gracious and true, longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things,
WIS 15:2 Removed trailing space in v~: For if we sin, we are yours, knowing your power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted yours.
WIS 15:3 Removed trailing space in v~: For to know you is perfect righteousness: yes, to know your power is the root of immortality.
WIS 15:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with various colours, the painter's fruitless labour;
WIS 15:5 Removed trailing space in v~: The sight whereof entices fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that has no breath.
WIS 15:6 Removed trailing space in v~: Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.
WIS 15:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashions every vessel with much labour for our service: yes, of the same clay he makes both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.
WIS 15:8 Removed trailing space in v~: And employing his labours lewdly, he makes a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returns to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.
WIS 15:9 Removed trailing space in v~: Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but strives to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavours to do like the workers in brass, and counts it his glory to make counterfeit things.
WIS 15:10 Removed trailing space in v~: His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:
WIS 15:11 Removed trailing space in v~: Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.
WIS 15:12 Removed trailing space in v~: But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.
WIS 15:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For this man, that of earthly matter makes brittle vessels and graven images, knows himself to offend above all others.
WIS 15:14 Removed trailing space in v~: And all the enemies of your people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.
WIS 15:15 Removed trailing space in v~: For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.
WIS 15:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like to himself.
WIS 15:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For being mortal, he works a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worships: whereas he lived once, but they never.
WIS 15:18 Removed trailing space in v~: Yes, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.
WIS 15:19 Removed trailing space in v~: Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.

WIS 16:1 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore by the like were they punished worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.
WIS 16:2 Removed trailing space in v~: Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with your own people, you prepared for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:
WIS 16:3 Removed trailing space in v~: To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent amongst them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.
WIS 16:4 Removed trailing space in v~: For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be showed how their enemies were tormented.
WIS 16:5 Removed trailing space in v~: For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, your wrath endured not for ever:
WIS 16:6 Removed trailing space in v~: But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of your law.
WIS 16:7 Removed trailing space in v~: For he that turned himself towards it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by you, that are the Saviour of all.
WIS 16:8 Removed trailing space in v~: And in this you made your enemies confess, that it is you who deliver from all evil:
WIS 16:9 Removed trailing space in v~: For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.
WIS 16:10 Removed trailing space in v~: But your sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for your mercy was ever by them, and healed them.
WIS 16:11 Removed trailing space in v~: For they were pricked, that they should remember your words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of your goodness.
WIS 16:12 Removed trailing space in v~: For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but your word, O Lord, which heals all things.
WIS 16:13 Removed trailing space in v~: For you have power of life and death: you lead to the gates of hell, and bring up again.
WIS 16:14 Removed trailing space in v~: A man indeed kills through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returns not; neither the soul received up comes again.
WIS 16:15 Removed trailing space in v~: But it is not possible to escape your hand.
WIS 16:16 Removed trailing space in v~: For the ungodly, that denied to know you, were scourged by the strength of your arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.
WIS 16:17 Removed trailing space in v~: For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quenches all things: for the world fights for the righteous.
WIS 16:18 Removed trailing space in v~: For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgement of God.
WIS 16:19 Removed trailing space in v~: And at another time it burns even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.
WIS 16:20 Removed trailing space in v~: Instead whereof you fed your own people with angels' food, and did send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man's delight, and agreeing to every taste.
WIS 16:21 Removed trailing space in v~: For your sustenance declared your sweetness to your children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's liking.
WIS 16:22 Removed trailing space in v~: But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.
WIS 16:23 Removed trailing space in v~: But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.
WIS 16:24 Removed trailing space in v~: For the creature that serves you, who are the Maker increases his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abates his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in you.
WIS 16:25 Removed trailing space in v~: Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to your grace, that nourishes all things, according to the desire of them that had need:
WIS 16:26 Removed trailing space in v~: That your children, O Lord, whom you love, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourishes man: but that it is your word, which preserves them that put their trust in you.
