Wisdom 4:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Yes, the righteous one who has died will condemn
the sinful who live;
And youth, swiftly completed, will condemn
the many years of the unrighteous who have grown old.(A)
17 For they will see the death of the wise one
and will not understand what the Lord intended,
or why he kept him safe.
