Wisdom 4:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ They are whisked away from the wickedness that surrounds them because their whole beings are pleasing to the Lord. People around them see this, but they don’t understand. It doesn’t sink in ¹⁵ that favor and mercy rest upon God’s chosen ones, and that God watches over his holy ones.

¹⁶ So the dead who did what’s right will condemn the ungodly who are still alive, and someone who dies young will condemn the old person who has lived many years but hasn’t done what is right.
