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
