Wisdom 10:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 She went down with him into the dungeon,
and did not desert him in his bonds,
Until she brought him the scepter of royalty
and authority over his oppressors,
Proved false those who had defamed him,
and gave him eternal glory.
15 The holy people and their blameless descendants—it was she
who rescued them from the nation that oppressed them.(A)
16 She entered the soul of the Lord’s servant,[a]
and withstood fearsome kings with signs and wonders;(B)
