Wisdom 4:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Those who do what’s right are quickly perfected and live a long life in a short span of time. ¹⁴ They are whisked away from the wickedness that surrounds them because their whole beings are pleasing to the Lord. People around them see this, but they don’t understand. It doesn’t sink in ¹⁵ that favor and mercy rest upon God’s chosen ones, and that God watches over his holy ones.
