. Wis 4:20 And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince them to their face. Wis 5:1 Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. Wis 5:2 When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for. Wis 5:3 And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach: Wis 5:4 We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour: Wis 5:5 How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!

Wis 5:14 For the hope of the Godly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.
