Wisdom 5:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

5 Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours.

² These seeing it, shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected salvation.

³ Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had some time in derision, and for a parable of reproach.

⁴ We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour.

⁵ Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints.
