Wisdom of Solomon 5:14-18
-
14 For the hope of the Godly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.
-
15 But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.
-
16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
-
17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.
-
18 He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.
