Wisdom 14:4-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. Shewing that thou art able to save out of all things, yea though a man went to sea without art.

5. But that the works of thy wisdom might not be idle: therefore men also trust their lives even to a little wood, and passing over the sea by ship are saved.

6. And from the beginning also when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation.

7. For blessed is the wood, by which justice cometh.

8. But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god.

9. But to God the wicked and his wickedness are hateful alike.
