Wisdom 5:16 CPDV

¹⁴  Such things those who sinned said in hell.

¹⁵  For the hope of the impious is like feathers, which are blown away by the wind, and like a thin foam, which is dispersed by a storm, and like smoke, which is scattered by the wind, and like the memory of a guest who passes by one day.

¹⁶  But the just will live forever, and their reward is with the Lord, and the thought of them is with the Most High.

¹⁷  Therefore, they will receive a beautiful kingdom and a crown of splendor from the hand of the Lord, for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them.

¹⁸  And his zeal will take up arms, and he will equip his servants for retribution on their enemies.
