meth again. Wis 2:6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth. Wis 2:7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us: Wis 2:8 Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered: Wis 2:9 Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this. Wis 2:10 Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged. Wis 2:11 Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. Wis 2:12 Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education. Wis 2:13 He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. Wis 2:14 He was made to reprove our thoughts. Wis 2:15 He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. Wis 2:16 We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. Wis 2:17 Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. Wis 2:18 For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. Wis 2:19 Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. Wis 2:20 Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected. Wis 2:21 Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them. Wis 2:22 As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls. Wis 2:23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity. Wis 2:24 Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it. Wis 3:1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch
