World English Bible Classic
[1] But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment will touch them.
[2] In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died.
Their departure was considered a disaster,
[3] and their travel away from us ruin,
but they are in peace.
[4] For even if in the sight of men they are punished,
their hope is full of immortality.
[5] Having borne a little chastening, they will receive great good;
because God tested them, and found them worthy of himself.
[6] He tested them like gold in the furnace,
and he accepted them as a whole burnt offering.
[7] In the time of their visitation they will shine.
They will run back and forth like sparks among stubble.
[8] They will judge nations and have dominion over peoples.
The Lord will reign over them forever.
[9] Those who trust him will understand truth.
The faithful will live with him in love,
because grace and mercy are with his chosen ones. [10] But the ungodly will be punished even as their reasoning deserves,
those who neglected righteousness and revolted from the Lord;
[11] for he who despises wisdom and discipline is miserable.
Their hope is void and their toils unprofitable.
Their works are useless.
[12] Their wives are foolish and their children are wicked.
[13] Their descendants are cursed.
For the barren woman who is undefiled is happy,
she who has not conceived in transgression.
She will have fruit when God examines souls.
[14] So is the eunuch which has done no lawless deed with his hands,
nor imagined wicked things against the Lord;
for a precious gift will be given to him for his faithfulness,
and a delightful inheritance in the Lord’s sanctuary.
[15] For good labors have fruit of great renown.
The root of understanding can’t fail.
[16] But children of adulterers will not come to maturity.
The seed of an unlawful union will vanish away.
[17] For if they live long, they will not be esteemed,
and in the end, their old age will be without honor.
[18] If they die young, they will have no hope,
nor consolation in the day of judgment.
[19] For the end of an unrighteous generation is always grievous.
