Wisdom of Solomon 10:15-21
|
15 Wisdom rescued the holy and faultless nation of Israel from those who were oppressing them. 
16 She did this by entering the soul of your servant Moses and opposing cruel kings with her amazing miracles.
17 Wisdom rewarded those holy people for their hardships and guided them in a wonderful way, providing shade for them during the day and starlight at night.
18 She brought them safely through the Red Sea, l 10.18 Red Sea: This refers to the body of water that the Israelites crossed and was one of the marshes or fresh water lakes near the eastern part of the Nile Delta, where they lived and where the towns of Exodus 13.17—14.9 were located.
19 but she drowned their enemies and washed their bodies up on the shore.
20 So your obedient people took the possessions of those ungodly people. Then they sang praises to your holy name and praised you for protecting them,
21 because Wisdom healed those who could not talk and helped infants to speak clearly.
