The Motif Searcher: one word across the Douay, the Latin, the Greek and the Hebrew.

Wisdom 13:16

Providing for it, lest it should fall, knowing that it is unable to help itself: for it is an image, and hath need of help.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): ne forte cadat, prospiciens illi : sciens quoniam non potest adjuvare se : imago enim est, et opus est illi adjutorium.
Septuagint (Swete): ἵνα μὲν οὖν μὴ καταπέσῃ προενόησεν αὐτοῦ, εἰδὼς ὅτι ἀδυνατεῖ ἑαυτῷ βοηθῆσαι, καὶ γάρ ἐστιν εἰκὼν καὶ χρείαν ἔχει βοηθείας.
