Wisdom 4:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 The righteous man who dies condemns the godless who are still alive,
and youth that has quickly achieved perfection
condemns the prolonged age of the wicked.
17 For they observe the death of the wise man
but understand neither the designs of the Lord for him
nor why he has kept him safe.
18 They look on and sneer contemptuously at him,
but the Lord will laugh them to scorn.
