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.
