Wisdom 4:16
Print
So the dead who did what’s right will condemn the ungodly who are still alive, and someone who dies young will condemn the old person who has lived many years but hasn’t done what is right.
But the just that is dead, condemneth the wicked that are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust.
Even when righteous people are dead and gone, they put to shame the wicked people who live on after them. In their old age the wicked will be disgraced by young people who have already achieved perfection.
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.
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.
The righteous who have died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous.
The righteous who have died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous.
The righteous who have died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous.
The righteous who have died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous.
The righteous man who has died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous man.
The righteous man who has died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous man.
Forsooth a just man dead condemneth quick wicked men; and youth ended swiftlier condemneth the long life of an unjust man. [Forsooth the rightwise dead condemneth the unpious men alive; and youth swiftlier ended, the long life of the unrightwise.]
