Wisdom 2:21-23

Revised Standard Version

²¹ Thus they reasoned, but they were led astray,
for their wickedness blinded them,
²² and they did not know the secret purposes of God,
nor hope for the wages of holiness,
nor discern the prize for blameless souls;
²³ for God created man for incorruption,
and made him in the image of his own eternity,^[a]
