Wisdom 5:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ So we also being born, forthwith ceased to be: and have been able to shew no mark of virtue: but are consumed in our wickedness.

¹⁴ Such things as these the sinners said in hell:

¹⁵ For the hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind: and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by.
