Wisdom 4:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ This man Enoch achieved in a few years' time a perfection that other people could never attain in a complete lifetime. ¹⁴ The Lord was pleased with Enoch's life and quickly took him out of this wicked world. People were aware of his departure but didn't understand. They never seemed to learn the lesson ¹⁵ that God is kind and merciful to his own people; he protects those whom he has chosen.
