Wisdom of Solomon 5:15 Context

¹³Euen so we in like maner, assoone as we were borne, began to draw to our end, and had no signe of vertue to shew: but were consumed in our owne wickednesse. ¹⁴For the hope of the vngodly is like dust that is blowen away with þ^e wind, like a thinne froth that is driuen away with þ^e storme: like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarieth but a day. ¹⁵But þ^e righteous liue for euermore, their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High. ¹⁶Therfore shall they receiue a glorious kingdome, & a beautiful crowne from the Lords hande: for with his right hand shall he couer them, and with his arme shall he protect them. ¹⁷He shall take to him his ielousie for cōplete armour, & make the creature his weapon for the reuenge of his enemies.
