Revised Standard Version

^53 123 Or that a paradise shall be revealed, whose fruit remains unspoiled and in which are abundance and healing, but we shall not enter it, ^54 124 because we have lived in unseemly places? ^55 125 Or that the faces of those who practiced self-control shall shine more than the stars, but our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
