Wisdom 4:17-19
New Catholic Bible
17 For they observe the death of the wise man
but understand neither the designs of the Lord for him
nor why he has kept him safe.
18 They look on and sneer contemptuously at him,
but the Lord will laugh them to scorn.
19 Afterward they will become dishonored corpses
and objects of contempt among the dead forever.
For he will cast them speechless to the ground
and shake them to their very foundations.
They will be completely laid waste,
overwhelmed with grief,
and their memory will perish.
