The Book of Wisdom in the Bible in a metaphorical way teaches how the wisdom of God was manifested during the punishment of the ten plagues to Egypt and the exodus of the Hebrew people to the promised land.
The wisdom of God was manifested in order to free the Hebrew people from the oppression they suffered in Egypt and gave to the prophet Moses the strength to travel from Midian where he lived comfortably to Egypt, from where he had escaped due to a murder, and there he faced the foolishness of the Pharaoh.
This is how the Book of Wisdom expresses the events:
"The holy people and their blameless descendants—it was she
who rescued them from the nation that oppressed them.
She entered the soul of the Lord's servant,
and withstood fearsome kings with signs and wonders" Wisdom 10:15-16.
But then the Book of Wisdom makes an interesting turn, it shows us how foolishness leads men to mockery and ridicule; after the tenth plague, the Book of Exodus remembers that the Hebrews took gold and silver from the Egyptians, and that the Egyptians gladly handed over these valuable items, because they wanted them to leave the country, in this way the oppressed despoiled the oppressors, as fair retribution for Pharaoh's foolishness.
This is how the Book of Wisdom remembers this fact:
"Therefore the righteous despoiled the wicked;
and they sang of your holy name, Lord
and praise in unison your conquering hand" Wisdom 10:20.
And then to remember the importance of Moses' song that was sung after crossing the Red Sea, the Book of Wisdom concluded with these words, how that wisdom from above liberates and rehabilitates the oppressed:
"Because Wisdom opened the mouths of the mute,
and gave ready speech to infants" Wisdom 10:21.
The story of the exodus demonstrates how God's wisdom is contrary to sin and its socialization, the oppression; those who trust in the wisdom of God, like the Hebrews in this beautiful story, know that they have a safe path free of destructive unforeseen events. Wisdom leads men to blessedness.
That is why the Book of Wisdom concluded with a beautiful reflection:
"Wisdom prospered their works by the hand of a holy prophet" Wisdom 11:1.
