Wisdom 3:1-5,9
1
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment
will ever touch them.
2
In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their
departure was thought to be an affliction,
3
and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.
4
For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full
of immortality.
5
Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because
God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
9
Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will
abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and
he watches over his holy ones.
