Ἀλλ' ἡ εὐμήχανος καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀπόροις εὔπορος τοῦ Θεοῦ σοφία καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ βαράθρῳ καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ τοῦ θανάτου τῇ ἐπαγωγῇ, ἐκ τῶν μιαρῶν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖνον ἐξήρπασε χειρῶν. Συνεβούλευσε μὲν γὰρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν εἷς, ὥστε ἀποστῆναι τῆς μιαιφονίας ἐκείνης· ἔπεισε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τὴν σφαγὴν διεκώλυσεν. Οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ ἐνταῦθα ἵστατο τὰ δεινά, ἀλλὰ περαιτέρω προῄει πάλιν. Ἐπειδὴ γὰρ αὐτὸν ἐκωλύθησαν ἀνελεῖν, ἔζεε δὲ ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν ἔτι καὶ τὰ τῆς ὀργῆς ἤκμαζε καὶ πολὺ τὸ κλυδώνιον τοῦ πάθους ἦν, εἰς ἕτερόν τι τὴν ὀργὴν μετήνεγκαν.
