Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-6

1. 1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

2. 2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

3. 3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.

4. 4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

5. 5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

6. 6 As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
