them.

Wis 3:2
In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their
departure is taken for misery,

Wis 3:3
And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are
in peace.

Wis 3:4
For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their
hope full of immortality.

Wis 3:5
And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly
rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for
himself.

Wis 3:6
As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them
as a burnt offering.

Wis 3:7
And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run
to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

Wis 3:8
They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the
people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

Wis 3:9
They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth:
and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace
and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

Wis 3:10
But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own
imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken

Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren
that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she
shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

Wis 3:14
And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought
no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto
him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance
in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

Wis 3:15
For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of
wisdom shall never fall away.

Wis 3:16
As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to
their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be
rooted out.

Wis 3:17
For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing
regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

Wis 3:18
Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort
in the day of trial.

Wis 3:19
For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

Wis 4:1
Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue: for the
memorial thereof is immortal: because it is known with God, and
with men.

Wis 4:2
When it is present, men take example at it; and
