Wisdom 5:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ so we also, as soon as we were born, ceased to be
    and had not a trace of virtue to exhibit
    but were consumed in our wickedness.”^[a]
14 The hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind,
    and like sea spray swept before a storm;
it is dissipated like smoke confronted by the wind,
    and it passes away like the memory of a guest who stays but a single day.
¹⁵ But the righteous live forever,
    and their recompense is with the Lord;^[b]
    the Most High provides for them.
