Wisdom 14:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ People may go to sea even if they have no skill, because you can save them from any danger. ⁵ It is your will that the things you have made by your wisdom should be put to use. And so people can cross the sea in a boat and come safely to land, because they trust their lives to that small piece of wood.

⁶ This was how it was in ancient times, when a proud race of giants was dying away. The hope of the world escaped on such a boat under your guidance and left the world a new generation to carry on the human race.
