‏ Wisdom of Solomon 18:21

21For a blameless man, prospering, is to be entreated for your people, bringing forth the shield of your service, through prayer and incense, making prayerful supplication, he withstands anger, and so establishes an end to the necessary difficulty, revealing that he is your servant.
18:21The blameless man prospers because he is God’s servant, and so the people seek his intercession on their behalf.(Conte)
