Wisdom 4:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ But the just that is dead, condemneth the wicked that are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust.

¹⁷ For they shall see the end of the wise man, and shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety.

¹⁸ They shall see him, and shall despise him: but the Lord shall laugh them to scorn.
