| 1 | But the soules of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. |
| 2 | In the sight of the vnwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery, |
| 3 | And their going from vs to be vtter destruction: but they are in peace. |
| 4 | For though they bee punished in the sight of men: yet is their hope full of immortalitie. |
| 5 | And hauing bene a little chastised, they shalbe greatly rewarded: for God proued them, and found them worthy for himselfe. |
| 6 | As gold in the furnace hath hee tried them, and receiued them as a burnt offering. |
| 7 | And in the time of their visitation, they shall shine and runne to and fro, like sparkes among the stubble. |
| 8 | They shall iudge the nations, and haue dominion ouer the people, and their Lord shall raigne for euer. |
| 9 | They that put their trust in him, shall vnderstand the trueth: and such as be faithfull in loue, shall abide with him: for grace & mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect. |
| 10 | But the vngodly shalbe punished according to their owne imaginations, which haue neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord. |
| 11 | For who so despiseth wisedome, and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vaine, their labours vnfruitfull, and their works vnprofitable. |
| 12 | Their wiues are foolish, and their children wicked. |
| 13 | Their of-spring is cursed: wherefore blessed is the barren that is vndefiled, which hath not knowen the sinfull bed: she shall haue fruit in the visitation of soules. |
| 14 | And blessed is the Eunuch which with his hands hath wrought no iniquitie: nor imagined wicked things against God: for vnto him shall be giuen the speciall gift of faith, and an inheritance in the Temple of the Lord more acceptable to his minde. |
| 15 | For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisedom shall neuer fall away. |
| 16 | As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an vnrighteous bed shal be rooted out. |
| 17 | For though they liue long, yet shall they bee nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour. |
| 18 | Or if they die quickly, they haue no hope, neither comfort in the day of triall. |
| 19 | For horrible is the end of the vnrighteous generation. |
